Do you have any clue how expensive it would be to upgrade the Exchange =
only portion. I don't know that it would ever work on the SBS server =
itself but even if it did, you need Exchange Server 2003 RETAIL =
Copy...upgrade won't work and Exchange Cals
You're talking 699 for Exchange Standard and 67 a cal and everything =
else is still the old version
You can upgrade to SBS 2003 for 599 Theres a hundred dollar savings =
right there and you get all the new features of SBS 2003
20 upgrade cals for SBS would cost you 38 dollars apiece in a pack of =
20. Thats a 50% savings on the cals.
Not sure how to justify the extra cost for no benefit
