| 1114700 | 2010-06-30 03:54:00 | We're planning to virtualise a Win2KSBS server and run it as a VM inside a new server box (with WinServer2008). This way, we don't need to re-configure everything from scratch. The question is ... Can the existing clients (all XP-Pro) access the Win2KSBS hosted within the new WinServer 2008 box without having to re-purchase CALs? |

| 1114701 | 2010-06-30 04:43:00 | it should be fairly seamless for the clients. | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 1114702 | 2010-06-30 21:45:00 | Should be okay, though if the SBS is OEM, you will need to re-activate, and not sure what thats will do re: CALS....however as 2000 doesnt have volume shadow copy, its probably best to P2V as a cold clone. | SolMiester (139) | ||

Are the XP Pro machines connected to the SBS Domain also accessing stuff on the 2008 box as well? Is the 2008 box domain joined? |
