Steve,

you can indeed just upgrade their server and there is no fiddling around to be done what so ever. Likewise, if this is a new box, again, no problems - these are very simple scenarios.

If you want to see the step by step instuctions (and from your comments I would strongly suggest you do), go and have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/techinfo/productdoc/default.mspx and especially http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/plan/gsg/chptr3c.mspx

Hi Dave,

Not sure if this is the right area for this comment. I'm supporting a non-profit who has recently upgraded from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003 (eval copy). Because they thought they could use the features of Exchange server, they decided to upgrade to SBS 2003. My question (of many) is whether the user.dat file (backed up) can be imported from Svr 2003 to SBS 2003 so I don't have to re-configure the server yet again. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks...Steve
