Re: Upgrading SBS2003 SP1 to Premium R2

Ops, sorry. I misunderstood the question.

Installing SQL Server does not remove MSDE. It will do a parallel install.

Here is a link on what to do to move the SharePoint database http://www.smallbizserver.net/tabid/266/ArticleType/ArticleView/ArticleID/211/PageID/284/Default.aspx

Just make sure when you go through the uninstall part of MSDE, you uninstall the SharePoint instance "ONLY" and not the one that says MSSQL$SBSMONITORING. That one should remain on MSDE because it does not support SQL Server

Hi all - am doing this (for the first time) on Friday. Won't be installing ISA, but SQL will be used.
Will this leave the existing MSDE instances alone, or upgrade them to SQL? I'm not using MSDE for anything beyond SBS/Sharepoint (WSS 2). Would love to have everything in SQL, but am mainly concerned with not mucking around with a functioning Sharepoint.
