You need to make sure you have the proper licensing and CALs for Server 2003 and SQL 2000. &nbsp;You also need to make sure you have &nbsp;DNS, DHCP and WINS running on your Server 2003.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a sbs2000 server that was the sole dc on a network. no exchange, just SQL is running. I have added a W2003 server to the network and run dcpromo. All seems fine Looks like the users and groups have moved over to the new server. I installed sql 2000 on the new server and have moved the database over.<br />
<br />
The SBS server is old and about to die. I would like to take it off the network before it dies (they do not want to spend money on this box). Are there steps other than depromo to demote it? <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Migrate from sbs2000 to W2003 Standard Server

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
