Check with your Microsoft Rep reguarding licensing. I don't believe that setup will allow you to upgrade from Enterprise to standard edition. What you may have to do is introduce a swing server built on 2003 FE and then remove the 2K servers. I say to check with the rep because it's really a licensing issue more than a technical but there was talk about enforcing it technically. I personally haven't looked at it since before RTM.

If so, will I have any problems upgrading from 2000enterprise to 2003standard? I have no stores on them at all The reason I ask is we were sent 2003 standard by accident & I'm wondering if they are usable anywhere.
