I did an upgrade when it was in beta, so keep that in consideration. Things
have improved immensely.
I got told so many times by people to do a clean install of SBS2K3 that the
fear tactics worked and that's the route I actually went when it went live.
I would recommend you repost this to the SBS2K3 newsgroup, you're more
likely to get a good/quick response there.
It's at: microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
