Re: odd mgration/upgrade ?

you may be surprised about how versatile Windows 2003 (and therefore SBS)
is. I've taken the HDD out of both SBS 2000 and 2003 systems and put it in
another box, it often boots fine first go.

The trick with a DC is to boot _only_ into Directory Services Restore Mode
until all hardware is re-detected and your networking is re-established.

If it doesn't boot first go then running a 'repair installation' is often
all that is required.

As has been suggested however, www.sbsmigration.com and Jeff's SwingIT!
process are highly recommended.
