It needs to be removed from the domain and proper 'migration' procedure followed. Well, it's too costly to go through the process to fix the problems. I think the best solution right now is to keep both servers running.
I can handle other things without that console. The only thing that I really need is to install the CAL licenses onto the new server. I just don't want to spend so much effort in order to achieve this little goal. So my last question is :. This moves the SBS installation from the old to new servers and allows you to remove the old server from the AD, bringing you into a compliant configuration. The old server can then be retired or re-installed as another OS.

Thursday, November 8, PM. Problem is that 'continuing as is' you are in clear breach of licensing.
Tuesday, November 13, PM. You've seen this KB, right? Thanks, Dave. Friday, November 9, AM. I don't know why either. When I tried to install the console by following step by step in the instructions, the installation just stopped and popped up an error message saying " The server is currently a member of an active network I've spent a great deal of time Googling for solutions but still no luck.
In fact, this tool is an optional component during the installation process. If you forget to check it off during the installation, you're in serious troubles as I'm now. Surprisingly to us , a USB-based floppy drive worked just as we'd have expected a motherboard-based drive to perform. With no avenue for getting the driver onto the hard drive, the machine is dead in the water: can't continue installation, and starting over gets the same thing. A bit of searching the web shows that others have had similar issues, which suggests that it's not the same code which accesses the floppy driver in each case there have been reports that HP brand USB floppy drives work, but we didn't dig into this at all.
Faced with the option of a giving up on the RAID controller, b opening the case to install a physical floppy drive, or c building a custom installation CD that had the proper driver built in. Though it took us a while to figure out this process, it's been a remarkably smooth one. We've run through this a couple of times and it's been flawless. We certainly believe so, but we'll note that we are not licensing experts. As noted above, this does not create a new license , and you can't use the created disc on more systems than you have actual SBS rights to use.
No part of this process bypasses activation - it's not creating key-free installs. You certainly can't distribute the installation discs, but that's a general prohibition on redistributing all Microsoft software whether you've modified it or not.
OEMs may have a legitimate need to customize the setup discs for their own hardware, but Microsoft has a separate System Builder for creating shippable media. OEMs probably are not allowed to use this process either. Sign in to vote. First about my environment: I have three Servers. We just purchased SBS so we can start an exchange server.
We migrated our original NT 4. On the servers and the original NT 4. COM Here's where we may have screwed up. Our servers are computers named after planets. The original NT 4. None of the outside world is linked to our active directory. Frankly, I think I might have hossed that up when I setup it initially. In any event, we like to keep what we have and add the SBS server to our existing domain.
