HI I am trying to upgrade our sbs4.5 machine to sbs 2000
and i keeep getting the message that you can upgrade this
version of windows with small business server. I have
searched all over looking for and answer as to why but
cannot find one.

I have a test enviroment setup where i installed a clean
windows sbs4.5 server and now i want to upgrade it to
sbs2000. I was getting as far as the error message that
would say you cannot upgrade this version of windows with
windows 2000sbs. From there i installed and upgraded my
sbs4.5 server with windows2000 from the i386 directory on
my sbs2000 cdroms. That went just fine. I tried once again
to load sbs2000 again so that i could get all the
subcomponents loaded (ex.2k, etc) but i got the same error
at the begining of installation.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to upgrade sbs4.5 to
sbs2000 and do it successfully because i cannot find
anything out there.

thanks in advance.

Jeremy

Exactly what version of 4.5 do you have? Wasn't there some MSDN 4.5's
running around that couldn't be upgraded?

Yep, I got bitten by that trying to test the SBS2K upgrade - I had used
our 4.5 NFR disks. Doh!
