Re: Microsoft 4.5 to 2003 upgrade method questions



Hello Allan,

Thank you for posting back!

May I know whether the information in my previous reply helps or not?

>From your reply, I assume that you want to know whether install WSUS before
or after migrating SBS Server. We suggest you that install WSUS after
migrating so you do not need to migrate WSUS to a new machine.

For WSUS issue, the inquiry would best be posted to the
<microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services> Newsgroup. The reason why
we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool
of respondents, and other customers who read the newsgroups regularly can
either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
