Travis,

If you are just going from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 on the same hardware, you
should be able to do a straight in-place upgrade. If you are going to new
hardware and SBS 2003, and you want the server name, IP, domain, file
shares, Exchange, etc to remain the same, you should do the swing using
Jeff's kit. Awesome product!

Use a laptop running Virtual PC or Virtual Server (free) for the temp
servers. Works great.

Is there any other way besides this to do it? We do not have 3 servers to
do this.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a tool, utility or something for us to
migrate from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 with out changing domain names. Data,
Exchange etc...

Thanks

Travis
