Hi

A client had their server stolen over the weekend. They had SBS4.5 & they want
to continue with that version - rather than SBS2000. They originally bought
SBS4.0 & upgraded to v4.5.

Q Do I have to reinstall v4.0 & then install the v4.5 upgrade, or can I just
install v4.5?

Regards
Nick

Seems last time I had to reinstall I did a straight install from 4.5 disks.
Install asked for 4.0 CD for confirmation that we qualified for upgrade.

Good luck,

Doug

You will need to use the SBS 4.0 disks to start, when you get through the text based portion of the install, you can switch to the 4.5 cds for the GUI install
