Only if you have purchased the SBS option pack, otherwise the Exchange CD is tied to being installed on SBS.

I hope you find this post helpful.

I think I was a little vague...I want to upgrade Exchange 2000 to 2003 on a 2003 Standard Server. I don't have the Exchange CD so I wnat to use the Exchange install files from disk 2 of a SBS2003 disk.

Yes that was clear. As I mentioned, the SBS bits are specific to SBS and won't install on any server other than SBS.

You could try downloading the Trial version bits, but I don't know if they will accept your non trial version CD Key.

I hope you find this post helpful.

You can order a media kit from CDW for just a few bucks if you have a valid product key.
