Re: transition pak contents



That is incorrect. The Server 2003 Standard Edition is part of the media.
That's why it's critical that you get the right media for your version - if
you're running SBS SP1, you need the SP1 version of the Transition Pack,
which has Server 2003 SP1 on it.

I'm not MS Sales, but I have the CD sitting in front of me.

(note: it's the same physical CD for Standard and for Premium SBS - just the
key is different. Oh, and the price of course. )

Hi,

Just wondering what software comes on the SBS Standard Transition Pak
Media Kit. Is it simply the full product versions of the W2K3 Server and
Exchange.

Planning to transition and already have most media kits. Just wondering
whether you need to purchase the transition media kit as an extra or
simply the CAL's

The Transition pack is a single CD (based on what I've been told by MS
Sales) that runs a special app that removes the restrictions imposed by
SBS, it does not contain the Server 2003 Media or any other media. You
also need to purchase CAL's based on how many SBS Cals you already have.

If your version of SBS is an OEM version and you were planning on moving
to any other server/motherboard, you can not do it.
