Hi Terence,
Many thanks for responding to my question. I guess I shall have to do a
fresh install of SBS on the new server, and then manually re-create their
users and client Pcs.
This is because the old server hardware has failed and won't run, so I can't
do the migration as described in the article you gave me.
Fortunately there are not many users or PCs so the manual reconfiguration
won't take too long.

Hello Nick,.
Thank you for posting here.
According to your description, I understand that you want to move the old
SBS to a new hardware. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't
hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, we cannot easily install the old SBS hard disk in the
new hardware server to do the migration. Otherwise, you may experience many
hardware or driver related issues as you get now. The most important is
this is a not Microsoft supported scenario.
To migrate the SBS to a new hardware, you need to perform the step-by-step
document in the following page:

I hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!

| I'm trying to rescue an SBS2003 system.
| Can I put the old, but working disc into an otherwise new PC ?
|
| I have actually tried, but with mixed results.
|
| The motherboard failed (along with its embedded network card etc), but
the
| disc appears to be ok.
| I've put the disk into new server hardware (PC) and after a little
messing
| around with device drivers, it does at least boot up.
| However, it's clearly very unhappy! The Active directory is totally 'on
| strike' which is maybe not surprising, and of course Exchange isn't
playing
| either.
|
| I haven't tried to mess around with anything yet, but I did start to set
the
| original IP address etc on the new network card. When I clicked on apply,
I
| got warning saying that the IP I had chosen was already assigned to
another
| network adapter, but that this adapter was hidden from the list because
it
| isn't actually on this machine, and did I want to continue.
|
| At this stage I have not continued, as I'm hoping that there is some
formal
| way to inform SBS that the new adapter is now the one to use.
|
| If anyone can help with this, I'd be most grateful. Otherwise I shall
have
| to re-build and restore.
