SBS 2003 STD. - SBS 2003 Premium upgrade options

Hi All,

Just a quick upgrade scenario question.

I have an SBS 2003 Standard edition server, due to the need for SQL server
we need to upgrade to have the Premium services afforded in SBS 2003
Premium.

So the Q's.

Does an inplace upgrade from Std. to Prem exist?
Are there any issues with installing this or is it just a case of adding the
Prem services.

input from anyone that has actually performed the upgrade would be great as
well, including expected upgrade times.

I would also like clarification that a complete re-install is not required.

And software part numbers for this would be appreciated.

I have found the Product Upgrade package for SBS Prem. MSSBS018 is this the
correct product for this task.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

TT
