Re: Windows SBS to Windows 2008 STD

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

1.) Well, sort of, but no, not really.
2.) Yes.
3.) yes.

But seriously, unless you're running up against a serious 75 user limit, I'd _strongly_ advise waiting just a bit. SBS 2008 is due out later this summer, and will be a direct migration from SBS 2003.

Hello, I have a serve running on SBS 2003 R2.. It is my: Domain Controler,
Exchange 2003 Server, DHCP Server and DNS Server.

I am planning to Buy a complete New Server with Windows server 2008 and
Exchange 2007.

My first questions are:

Can i migrate my CALS from SBS server 2003 to 2008?
If I Buy Exchange 2007, do I need to buy SQL Server separately??
Can i migrate ACtive Directory to this New Server easily?

thanks.
