The point being; if they want to deploy a 64-bit machine, give it to Cougar; or as Tom noted, Centro. I seriously doubt that given the complixities involved and the necessity for wizarding the process across FSM-awful hardware combinations, the SBS team is most likely to say "migrate to new hardware". ________________________________ From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Amy Babinchak Sent: Sat 6/2/2007 5:00 PM To: isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isapros] Re: OT: SBS2003 R2 - Hardware Recommendation? Not such good advice there are ways to move it off and back onto that box again. I would prefer that method over costing the client another new server. Can't say what at this point but suffice to say the sbs team is working on a solution. thanks, Amy Babinchak Harbor Computer Services From Mobile PDA Phone (248) 890-1794 http://isainsbs.blogspot.com <http://isainsbs.blogspot.com/> http://smalltechnotes.blogspot.com <http://smalltechnotes.blogspot.com/> http://www.harborcomputerservices.net <http://www.harborcomputerservices.net/> -----Original Message----- From: "Jim Harrison" <Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 6/1/07 5:44 PM Subject: [isapros] Re: OT: SBS2003 R2 - Hardware Recommendation? I wouldn't waste x64 hardware on it. SBS 2K3 R2 is 32-bit only and there is no in-place upgrade path for SBS R2 to Cougar (x64 only). This means your inevitable move to Cougar will cost you another machine. -----Original Message----- From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gene Sibbs Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 11:25 AM To: isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isapros] OT: SBS2003 R2 - Hardware Recommendation?
