How can I transition a Windows SBS 2008 R2 to a Windows 2008 R2 STD
Hello
I have inherited a windows 2008 SBS server last year, I now want to incorporate it into my 2003 domain but I need to tranition it first.
I have done this with SBS 2003 back in 2007 (transitioned to its constituent parts) but I understand that this is not available for the SBS 2008 version.
How can I do this for SBS 2008 R2?
I do not need the Exchange part as it is not used.
Please advise best steps to take
Many thanks
Edwin

Yes, you will need a "swing" server with your target OS.

Hi Leew
Thankyou very much for your time to explain the process.
I remember doing the transition (with the kit that is not available any longer) on a win 2003 SBS and it was all in place, magically the SBS box was converted to a 2003 std server, no need for other servers to be introduced.
Shame that progress seems to regress in certain areas :-) in my opinion
Thanks again for your time

I have been over to sbsmigration.com and have exchanged emails with jeff (mid December 2013).
Not heard from him since, re-sent my last set of questions yesterday (2/1/2014) and in the meanwhile thought I'd ask if there was any other way.
Do I need to purchase another server (with the target 2008 R2 OS installed) ?
Still confused
Many thanks
Edwin
