Re: SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 standard upgrade question

You upgrade from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 is based upon the original $1500
product to the current $1500 product. Going to Standard is an upgrade to a
lower level product version, much like going from Office Premium to Office
Standard.

You can't use MSDN, but you could use an Action Pack based license, if you
qualify to obtain that.

If you use Swing Migration as described at my website for the technical part
of the transition, you could preserve all of that you mentioned.
