I am looking to upgrade an SBS 4.0 server to SBS 2003 and=20

1. Is is possible to carry out a clean install of SBS 2K3=20

2. If its necessary to upgrade to SBS 4.5 first, are=20
there any major issues with upgrading to SBS 4.5 as I am=20

encountered. Where can I obtain this upgrade to 4.5.
3. Likewise, any issues with upgrading to SBS 2000 or SBS=20

4. Can an OEM version of SBS 4.0 be upgraded to a later=20
version using a full boxed product?
