Upgrading to Windows 2003 SBS

[Darren]

I have a single SBS 2000 server that is running out of space. (Not enouph
space to do a inplace upgrade.) What I need to know is how to transfer the
Active Directory Users and Computers to a fresh install / upgrade to SBS
2003 by way of backup. Or, can this be done.

Current config
SBS 2000
C:\ 7.8 GB 2GB free
All other drives almost full

Removing the old drives and upgrading hardware
Going to add larger HDD for SBS 2003
C: partition 20GB for System

What about this...

Since you don't have enough space, then why not you backup your system and
replace new hardware. Afterwards you do a restore and make sure everythings'
fine. Then you can do a in-place upgrade.

Sounds like a great question to post in m.p.windows.server.sbs
