Re: Upgrade SBS2003 SP2 to R2?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I don't memorize product SKU numbers, but if that is a Premium version upgrade SKU, then yes, you get SQL 2005 Workgroup.

Sir;
I want to upgrade my SBS 2003 premium to SBS 2003 R2 premium so that I might
have SQL 2005 on our network.

Will the version upgrade T75-01256 contain SQL server 2005 workgroup or do
I have to purchase SQL server 2005 seperately?

Hi Ferrell,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 (SBS 2003 R2) is an upgrade release
to the award-winning SBS 2003 product, it is not service pack. It provides
enhancements to the core product technologies integrated into SBS 2003 and
adds new features to address the growing needs of small businesses. As with
SBS 2003, the new release will be available in Standard and Premium
Editions.

Since SBS 2003 R2 is not free, you must purchase either Windows Small
Business Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition or Windows Small Business Server
2003 R2 Premium Edition. The SBS 2003 R2 is available through normal
purchasing channels, such as your IT consultant or software reseller.
