Hello Ryan,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.

Also, many thanks for Cris and Lanwench's great input.

Cris and Lanwench are right on target, we don't recommend you upgrade a
single component of SBS with a retail version on the SBS server.

Considering the current condition, it is recommended that you contact
Microsoft Product Support Services via telephone so that a dedicated
Support Professional can assist you recover the server in a more efficient
manner. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged
call. Thanks for the understanding.

To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
look at the web site listed below.

If you are outside the US please see http://support.microsoft.com for
regional support phone numbers.

Additionally, if you have good backup, I would suggest you restore the SBS
2000 Server to fine status.

Best regards,

Nathan Liu (MSFT)
