Hello, I tried to download the PDF from http://www.smallbizserver.net/tabid/228/Default.aspx, but the file doesn't have any extension, and Adobe doesn't recognize it when I rename it to a .pdf.

Also, I tried downloading several of the scripts a tools, and had similar issues. Obviously they aren't PDF's, but I have no idea WHAT type of file they are.

Am I missing something here? Thanks!

All files are zipped and inside you will find the pdf.

I Installed SBS 2003 R2 as a new installation. Do I still do this or is this for upgrades to R2 from SBS 2003 SP1?

Yes, a default R2 installation does not upgrade a Sharepoint site with SQL. You need to follow this doc but only if your Sharepoint is based on MSDE. If your server is upgraded with SQL 2000 you need to read the readme. A detailed doc about this will follow later.

Thanks Mariette, this is great for new R2 installs.

I've now got a 2003 SP1 Premium to R2 Premium upgrade where they have converted Sharepoint to SQL 2000. Was wondering exactly which Readme you are referring to, and if the detailed article is still on the cards.

Cheers, Davin

Davin,

Yes, that article has still to be finished. The upgrade from already upgraded to SQL 2000 and then to SQL 2005 is a bit more work. The readme should be on the CD where SQL 2005 is. I find the readme not very clear though but seems to be the case with a lot of MS readme's

That article was straight forward and effective however I am prompted for localhost/administrator credentials when trying to start the central administration tool to complete "timer" settings. This also occurs with trying to access "companyweb"?
