How can I identify which version of SBS2000 we're using?
Hi Experts
We are upgrading an old SBS2000 server to a new box which will have SBS2003 installed.
To make sure we spec this correctly I need to know whether or not the old SBS2000 install is a Standard or Premium version. The computer properties page only states Windows Small Business Server 2000 SP4. There doesnt appear to be a full version of SQL Server installed (except the services working with Exchange), but there is an ISA 2000 server installed, which kind of steers me towards thinking it is a Premium edition. We have no media to work from nor COA!
Any ideas how we find out?
Thanks, C

Hi Power
OK since the first post we have found the media - but it still doesn't help much. The box is a retail "academic" version that says "Microsoft Small Business Server 2000"; it also includes Service Pack .
On the back it does list as components: MS ISA Server 2000 and MS SQL Server 2000.
So I guess your first post must apply. We can see the install of the ISA 2000, but I cannot be sure if the SQL Server 2000 is fully installed, as I know Exchange uses some parts of this. Any ideas how we confirm the SQL is fully installed? It is not showing in Add/Remove Programs and I cannot see it in the Admin Tasks.
We need to be sure that it is/is not installed to spec the right version of the replacement SBS2003.
Thanks C
