[sdw2003] Small Business Server 2008

[Rick Joyce]

If you are talking installing a temporary SBS 2008 server, you can do an SBS2008 to SBS2008 migration to the Dell Box. If you are talking a temporary W2K8 domain controller, you can join the SBS 2008 server to the domain and transfer the FSMO roles and other stuff to the SBS 2008 server.

There are a couple of resources for an SBS 2008 to SBS 2008 migration:

The former is free documentation. The latter is slicker, but costs money.

Hey All,

	I am having a problem with Dell.  We ordered a Server from them
three weeks ago, and I go an email today saying that the order is delayed
again.  At this rate I will be a month from the order date that is comes it.
Is anybody else having orders delayed from Dell?

	The real question is this.  If I setup a trial edition of Windows
2k8 on a temp server, could I transfer everything over to the dell server
once it comes in?  I have read a technet article about transferring to
different hardware, but I am not sure about transitioning from the trial
edition to an OEM edition.  Anybody tried this before.  I really need to get
this system setup for my client.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
