Forgot to reply to your opening line on re-read Charlie...

I am *NOT* rebooting any of the boxes at all... including my SBS R2 box.
Haven't found a need to! <VBG>

Let's not forget there are only *FIVE* users using it.... pretty light use.
Most of the works is 3 or more simultaneous remote machines connecting to
it... to either T/S box and running my Access custom app. It's a little
Canadian election campaign package I have written... <VBG>...

You're likely to be rebooting your box a lot. ;)

The poor OS gets starved, at some point. There's more than one reason
we're all moving to x64 for the next release. ;)

Now, that being said, I have a "customer" (Habitat for Humanity, so I get
paid in intangibles) that I run a VS seesion on to provide two XP client
machines that they can RWW into. Works just fine. From some initial
monitoring, I figure it could handle at least one more, and probably two
more clients before I was pushing up against it.

I would _not_ attempt to run both VMWare and VS. Pick one and stick with
it. If you need to run the other, put it on a different box.

Charlie,

Have you done anything with virtualization?

My SBS R2 box is also my virtual server host, using both VS2005 R2 SP1
and
VM Ware Server... so I have 2 terminal servers running on top of the R2
box as well as two WXP clients... an x86 and an x64 version. One of the
benefits of running VM Ware is the ability to host 64 bit OS's on top of
a 32 bit host. <VBG>

Enough of the preamble... I just wondered what sort of issues I might
encounter once I set up ISA, ie: flip R2 SE to PE.

Anyone with input can chime in.

Thanks!

Yes, that should work fine. I did that at least once during the beta (I
had the workgroup bits early.)

Thought I'd pick your brain Charlie and get the quick heads up on this.

I clean installed my R2 copy and added the R2 bits *PRIOR* to bringing
the
machine to Premium Edition. This is a test box as the R2 Beta didn't
have all of the final stuff in it... and I wanted to see the final
pieces in action.

I should be able to bring this box to Premium by just installing the
premium programs that I want to... no?
