Can Windows SBS 2003 be upgraded to a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition?

My company bought a center that has SBS 2003 and will not play nice as a DC on the domain.  Can the server be upgraded to Windows Server 2003 Standard?  If not, are there any options other than a rebuild.  I am trying to avoid having to travel for this one.

there is a Transition Pack:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=BBCF7319-4947-4FD2-A2EA-145588765E68&displaylang=en
The transition pack is about optimizing licenses,  but also keeping the original SBS domain-forest.  I get the impression that you want to integrate the SBS to your existing domain and that is a different story.

Yes, the SBS domain no longer exists as I took it down and cleaned up all metadata.  I wanted to add the SBS into the existing corp domain.  It looks like I am doing a rebuild unless there are any other options.

Yeah, sadly that is not an option in my infrastructure.

Ok, this amswers my question.


Thanks.
Thanks for the points,  I just received my first Expert Certification.  I hoped to get my minimal 50,000 before Jeff got his SBS 1,000,000 later this month.
