I have purchased a licensed version of SBS 2003 and want to install it on my server. &nbsp;I called Microsoft support and asked if the new install would keep my configuration and data in place from the trial version. &nbsp;They said it would...but when I try to install the new software it states it will delete the old copy and all config and stored data will be lost. &nbsp;Which is true? &nbsp;Will it keep the config or will I have to reconfigure everything from scratch??<br />
<br />
Thanks much!!

Trial Version to Licensed Version SBS 2003

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).
