Re: migrating from sbs 2000 to sbs 2008

Unfortunately there is no truth regarding the Client Access licenses

And there are no migration tools to assist you in going from SBS 2000 to SBS 20038

Depending on the number of users in your current network, it may be considerably easier to start over and just migrate mail and data.

Unless you have maintained a Software Assurance subscription for your
licenses for SBS2000 and the CAL's, you will need new licensing.

This document describes how to migrate from SBS2000 to SBS2008 Premium
edition.
