Author How to create SBS 2003 Premium?

I need to create an SBS 2003 Premium system. The MSDN SBS 2003 DVD (2619.1)
appears to only install the Standard version. Did I miss something during
the install (don't think so)? Is there a magic script that will duplicate
the differences between Standard and Premium (I hope so)? Or do I install
the other components on my own and hope for the best?

Thanks,
Dave L

Log onto the Subscribers Download Site and download the additional CD for
turning Standard into Premium. In the Contents tree, it is located under:

- Servers
- Small Business Server
- Small Business Server 2003
- [language such as English]
- Small Business Server 2003 Premium Technologies

This CD contains the normal SQL Server 2000a and ISA 2000 installation files
but also a scripted installation which combines them with the SBS 2003
Standard install. That's the closest thing to the "magic script" you're
looking for.

The base SBS installation is quite different from a default installation of
WS2003 and Exchange 2003, but there isn't a great deal of difference between
the Premium Technologies disc and regular SQL/ISA2K. Unless you need to
recreate an exact snapshot of a clean SBS Premium install (for example, if
you need to create user documentation which includes exact screenshots of
installing your app onto SBS Premium) or unless you're not familiar enough
with SQL/ISA to install them confidently, you could probably get away with
installing SQL/ISA2K separately.

Thanks for the information - I did exactly that after much digging around.

Here is the problem I am facing - I am sitting at the "CD-Key" of the SQL
Server 2000 install after downloading the Premium Technologies form MSDN
subscribers download. I don't have a "CD-Key" to input. I called MSDN
customer support and they said for SQL server 2000 has auto populating CD-Key
so I don't have to enter anything there which is exaclty what the generate
product keys page says. But here I am sitting at this screen asking me the
CD-Key, I tried the SBS 2003 Std. CD-Key but that didn't work.

Any help appreciated!

The SBS 2003 Std. CD-Key is supposed to work - maybe the CD-key is case
sensitive and I was using the wrong key. It all works now.
