it's also _legally_ impossible to re-install SBS components, the SBS license
has been _converted_ to a Standard license.
'though unsupported we will allow you to continue to run, until the S hits
the F'

That is not what I was told by MS Product Managers when I was writing the
SBS R2 book. They stated (and there were more than one, including one of
our favourites) "if it works, great. But it's no longer supported and it's
technically impossible to re-install anything that gets broken. " That is
very different.

actually. You are no longer licensed to use 'SBS bits' after
transitioning the server. As Charlie states, and many people don't
realise, you have 'converted' SBS to Windows Server, no more RWW, no SBS
integration, no Reporrting and Monitoring.
People who apply the TP to SBS should do so and immediately decommision
SBS, reinstall as Windows Server Standard Edition. They have no right to
use SBS media to reinstall their OS should 'disaster recovery' be
required and therefore have no means to re-instate these 'SBS things'.

Most of the wizards should still work, IME. But that login script fails.
It's SBS specific, and not necessary in full Server anyway.
The simple answer with Post-TP SBS is - it's not SBS any more. It's
Server 2003 Standard Edition. And Exchange 2003 Standard Edition. And
you should be using the native tools to administer it. If something from
the old tools works? Great. But if it doesn't? Sorry, it's no longer
supported.

Hi All,
I applied the transition pack to my SBS server this weekend. I noticed
that the links to some of the toolls disappeared, but that the tools
themselves remained...
I see now though, that the SBS login script fails:
SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat gives:
C:\Program Files\Support Tools>\\company.local\Clients\Setup\setup.exe
/s UBIQ-SERV1
Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller,
either b
ecause the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied.
The binaries are all still in place.. but I'm guessing that something
on the servers changed (but what?) OR is it that you cant use any of
the SBS tools after adding the transition pack (eg Add Applications
etc), even though the binaries are still there... ?
Thanks,
Adrian
