Well that would be my mistake only in the regard that it cannot join a =
domain
But as it clearly states, Web Edition cannot be a Domain Controller, and =
SBS is a Domain Controller
YOu cannot DCPromo an SBS server down
AND the only way to 'upgrade' an SBS server is using the Transistion =
pack, which is no longer available for SBS 2000
You can add a server with Web Edition, but not upgrade the current OS =
"IN PLACE"

Hi Chris.
Now, i'm not an expert at this, but does this conflict with waht you =
said.
"Although computers running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, can be =
members=20
of a Microsoft Active Directory service domain, Windows Server 2003 =
Web=20
Edition, cannot be a domain controller. Consequently, organizations =
cannot=20
use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, alone to apply certain management =
features, including Group Policy, Software Restriction Policies, =
Remote=20
Installation Services, Microsoft Metadirectory Services, Internet=20
Authentication Service (IAS), and others"
I found it here:=20

Thanks,
