I'm attempting to install the SBS2003 R2 Transition Pack to a Server running SBS 2003 with SP2 installed. &nbsp;I can't get it to run &nbsp;- the suggestion being that I need SP1 installed (surely SP2 should qualify). &nbsp;I would welcome any helpful suggestions (at the moment, I understand that I would need to uninsatll SP2 and then try again).<br />
Once I've migrated to SBS2003 R2 and Transitioned, I intend to promote a second server that has been installed as a Windows 2003 R2 server with Exchange server and SQL 2005 to become a domain member (which is currently not possible) and then change the FSMO roiles, migrate AD and DNS etc., move mailboxes and decommission the old server (public stores replicated, SQL databases and data files updated daily)..

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.

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).
