David,
What a terrifying prospect!
I will be upgrading to SBS 2003 early next year. For convenience, I was
intending to purchase the OEM Version along with the new hardware.
After hearing that, I think I will have to look around and see if I can
purchase just the server hardware and then the appropriate upgrade (or
even the full version).
Thanks,
Stephen

You should also be aware that if you are running an OEM version of SBS you
cannot recover your server to different hardware under any circumstances
according to Microsoft's licensing staff. If the hardware gets stolen, or is
destroyed in a site loss (fire, flood etc) you lose everything bar your data.
Under Microsoft licensing rules you cannot recover the server software and AD
data to a different set of hardware and Microsoft will not sell you any form
of licensing that allows you to upgrade the OEM to anything that allows you
to do that recovery.
Therefore a DR plan for a network that includes Windows SBS OEM needs to
details how to rebuild the network without an OS and AD restore.
