2003 SBS Standard >> 2003 SBS Premium
I've looked all over, and short of calling microsoft (which would be a nightmare i'm sure) i can't find information on what software package / license i need to buy in order to upgrade
Windows SBS 2003 Standard to PREMIUM.
A client of ours opted for the cheaper standard sbs version about 6mo back that we put on one of their servers, and now they need SQL Server on it. I know Premium has SQL Server. Is there a version of Premium out there that i can "legally" put on the server as an upgrade to 2003 SBS Standard? If so, anyone have any links to reputable resellers?
Thanks,
Nick

The SBS 2003 Premium Upgrade should do the trick, silly as it sounds. I don't think there is a minor upgrade version, just the big one...

what's the part number on MS's site, and "Microsoft Estimats" got a MS link for this? I won't hold you responsible ... what webpage did you copy/paste the above from?
Thanks

OH, and FWIW - the SBS Standard Price + the SBS Product Upgrade price = SBS Premium price, so there's no real loss there, though if they bought OEM then they have probably blown a few $$$.
