Carlos:
Merv Porter posted this a few days ago, see if it helps.
If we look at the File Version properties of the c:\windows\system\setup.exe
file, we should see:
Windows 2003 RTM... 5.2.3790.0 (srv03_rtm.030324-2048)
Windows 2003 SP1... 5.2.3790.1830 (srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447)
Windows 2003 SP2... 5.2.3790.3959 (srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710)
In reviewing your post, I think that the media that you are using to create
the new SBS installation on your new hardware should be explicit as to the
service packs it contains. If it does not say SP1 or SP2, then it must be
RTM. Another way you can tell is to use one of the tools that MS provides
for ferreting this out of the installation. Also, Start - My Computer -
rclick - Properties - General.
In any case, if you are using older media, it might be the media that came
with your original server. You should review the kind of license you
received with that media, because if it is an OEM version you should not
install it on new hardware.
Should it turn out to be RTM, you will have to go through the SP1 procedure
before installing SP2, although it is possible to substitute Exchange SP2
and Windows SP2 for the SP1 modules in the list of items to be installed to
bring the server up to current levels.
While it is possible, note that Windows SP2 introduces issues of its own,
and therefore we recommend that you do Windows SP1, get everything stable,
then Windows SP2, then the follow on items to resolve the SP2 issues.
And, run the SBS BPA and resolve any issues it finds.

I'm migrating our SBS 2003 SP2 over to a new machine. I'll continue to
use
SBS 2003. I've already looked into SBSmigration.com and have tried it.
We
have no access to a migration or virtual server so it's out. Jeff offers
great support but the method just wasn't working for me. So, I am
following
the steps outlined in 'Migrating Windows Small Business Server 2003 to New
Hardware' located at:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServerSolutions/SBS/en/library/62e2094e-ad4e-4227-b20e-97a716ed7c861033.mspx?mfr=true
I am doing just fine but I get to the where I check on the new machine
Windows Server 2003 for SS 2003 version and I see it is 'Version 5.2 Build
3790' and not 'Version 5.2 Build 3790 Service Pack 2'. I'm worried about
this not having the correct service pack. When I continue to look into
installing SP2 it appears I need to install SP1 for SBS 2003. I'm afraid
this will screw everything else up. Any thoughts?
