Hi,
I have inherited a sbs 2000 server with sp4 installed. I am unable to use the management console as it appears to NOT have been installed. In the registry there is no backoffice key on hkey_localmachine\software\microsoft.
If i try to reinstall it from the original disks (sbs 2000 with sp3) i get this message 'this version cannot upgrade the installed version of microsft small business server'. and cannot install the management console.
i want to upgrade to small business server 2003 but when i try to upgrade i am told i need to revert the licensing back to 5 cals to proceed. i cant do this as i have no access to the management console.
can anyone help????
