Re: Upgrade to Premium After Installing WSS 3.0

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

On the Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration wizard,
select No, I want to create a new server farm.

In this case, you would just use the existing configuration of your WSS 3.0
setting. You are only chaging the database server settings. I just wish MS
would have a pretty good documentation on upgrading to a full blown SQL
Server installation. You can also do a backup/restore and change the
database configuration settings

My SBS 2003 R2 currently has WSS 2.0 running side-by-side with WSS 3.0
(as per installation instructions specific to SBS 2003). I am ready
to install SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition from R2 Premium Technologies
Upgrade. The instructions provide for migrating the SPv2 WMSDE to
2005 Workgroup but I have been unable to find guidance on switching
SPv3 from it's default Microsoft##SSEE to 2005 Workgroup. Other
installation facts:

(1) SPv2 is NOT in use (thus it's database contains only the
installation default data) but must remain up and running due to its
tight integration with SBS wizards, components, etc.

(2) SPv3 contains only test data and could be re-installed if
necessary.

(3) Everything seems to be running correctly (except for a single .NET
2.0 error that happens daily at 2:45 AM, but that's another story).

I wonder if upgrading from the current configuration to SQL 2005
Workgroup would have any benefits (e.g. less memory utilization, some
features in WG that are n/a in SSEE, etc.).

From the 04/26/2007 post "Allocated Memory Alerts!" I see that I could
uninstall WSS 3.0 (and remove the SSEE) then install SQL 2005
Workgroup (and migrate 2.0 from WMSDE to WG 2005) then re-install WSS
3.0 but this time select the "Server Farm" option. I'm guessing this
would result in 2 instances of WG 2005: one for SPv2 and one for
SPv3. Certainly a "cleaner" configuration than before but I wonder if
I'm just asking for trouble here.

Any guidance/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
