Re: Microsoft 4.5 to 2003 upgrade method questions



Not sure you understand. I am currently setting up the new server with
SBS2003 and want to know what I can/can't install on it before doing the
migrations of the SBS 4.5 clients (step 3 in MS's migration document). I
want to make sure I don't install anything that will affect the migration of
the 4.5 client accounts adversely. Currently I'm looking at putting on
WSUS...
