How awful is it upgrading from Win2k to SBS2003?

mthaler
I have a small network using Win2k Server w/ Exchange 2000. I got a free copy of SBS2003 from MS at a training session and I am wondering how painful an upgrade it would be? Anybody try this? Is it worth it? I REALLY don't want to do a clean install, I would rather do an upgrade if that were possible.

Scripting obsolete

Mindbreaker
I found a nice tool lately, UMS. It's all about drive mapping and configuration in networks, with a nice GUI and some very nice features, even able to handle policies. It made all my scripting obsolete, most of the options can be handled per mouseclick.

My woeful DNS skills need improving.

Hot Dang
I work in a school and so have limited funds available so our setup is far from ideal. We have one win2k server (single domain) running most things for 350 clients (win2k and XP pro). The council runs our firewall, e-mail and broadband routing externally and they have 2 DNS servers.

I read that there is a lot of unneccesary comms between an XP PC and the server during login and that there were ways to speed it up, but I lost my hard copy of the instructions and can't remember where I got them from.

Software License Compliance / Management

adamvjackson
I am in need of some recommendations for a software package to create a report (csv, excel, etc. ) of currently installed software packages and OS installations on my network. I am aware of the MSIA, but it is limited only to Microsoft products, which DOES help, but may actually create more work than necessary.
