Hello Joost,

Thank you for posting here.

From your post, I understand that you have a non-R2 SBS server with SP2
installed and you would like to know what Transition Pack should be
installed.

You should buy Windows Small Business Server Standard 2003 English
w/Service Pack 1 CD Transition Pack.

However, please be reminded that we need to remove SP2 until after the
upgrade is complete or the migration is complete.

Otherwise it may cause many problems.

More information for your reference:

In some scenarios, you must remove Windows Server 2003 SP2 before you
upgrade to the full retail version of Windows Small Business Server 2003 or
before you migrate to Windows Server 2003http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932600

| Hi,
|
| I have a Windows SBS 2003 UK Standard server, with ServicePack 2
installed
| on both Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003.
| It's originally R1, not R2.
|
| I'm not sure whether I should buy the "Microsoft® Windows Small Business
| Server Standard 2003 R2 English CD Transition Pack", or the "Microsoft®
| Windows Small Business Server Standard 2003 English w/Service Pack 1 CD
| Transition Pack".
|
| Please advice,
|
| Thanks in advance
| Joost

Thanks for your help.
