Now that I think about, you may be able to do so, depending upon how far
into the OEM install you are. I do NOT recommend it (I hate OEM installs),
but if the DNS and AD have not been created (and they should not be with a
Dell OEM install, since they have no idea what it will be), then you should
be able to swing it. Use your temp DC to set up the SBS' DNS and AD.

Can I use swing migration to upgrade an SBS 2000 server to a new Dell
server with SBS 2003 R2 pre-installed?

TIA
