Inside SBS Episode #8 is Here! We had a lot of fun recording this week's episode. We talk a lot about best practices for upgrading existing domains to SBS and also delve in to the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Transition Pack. When people call us about these issues, these tend to be really long, involved conversations, so you're going to hear a lot of hard-won wisdom and strong opinions. Please join me along with James Fredrickson, Peter Gallagher, and Chris Puckett for a round-table discussion on all things SBS. ----------- In this episode: Sbsshow.com - can't say enough good things about them SQL 2005 Launch Backups revisited Preparing for Transition Pack Pricing web site - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/howtobuy/pricing.mspx A tale of two Transition Packs Is the SBS AD different?
