I am working for a company that has SBS 2003 which is running Exchange and SQL Server on the one box. I am planning to upgrade to 2008 standard, SQL server 2008 and Exchange 2003 all on separate boxes. I have the transition packs so that I can re-use the CALs. I dont know upgrading the single server with these as if it goes pear shaped will help, since I might be stuck with no back out plan apart from a restore, which I dont want to use. So, my plan is to add a new 2008 server to the domain and promote to DC, then add the other new servers. The questions that I have is, are there any problems transferring Licensing Server Service from SBS, I have found that it could be problematic? After when the 2008 server is promoted, does that mean that the Licensing is taken over by the new DC and the 75 user limit not longer exists? Will I be able to add the DC only and still run exchange and SQL on the original box, so that I can do an upgrade?
