Hello.<br />
<br />
Next week we will be converting a small (8 user) XP Pro workgroup to an SBS 2k3 domain. &nbsp;I have done this once before, but ran into a few profile issues on the workstations... namely the existence of _sbs_netsetup_ profiles and user.000 user.domain.000 profiles when the add pc wizard was complete. &nbsp;We got through the issues, but not as smoothly as I had hoped (had to reinstall Microsoft Office suites).<br />
<br />
What I am hoping to find is a list of 'gotcha's' for this type of conversion. &nbsp;Again, not overly complicated, but not a new install... the pc's have all been working in the workgroup for a few years now.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any advice?<br />
<br />
Thanks! &nbsp;<br />

Looking for help converting from an XP Pro workgroup to an SBS2003 domain.

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).
