Configuring Vista Ultimate to run like Vista Business

[Banski58]

I have Vista Ultimate installed and operating.
I also have business phone system by Shoretel that
integrates into my network.
They have a Personal Call Manager software that works on all of my PC's
except Vista Ultimate. They claim it works on the Business edition.
Can anyone help me to change my settings to mimic a Business edition
installation? I just want my Call Manager software to work!
Please help!

Ultimate contains all the Business version attributes.
You can't change it!

Thanks Mick,

I was hoping I could DE-activate Ultimate attributes that the Business
version does not have in order to get it to run LIKE the Business Version.
You see there is something in Ultimate that my software can't run on. Since
it CAN run on the Vista Business edition, I am trying to DOWNGRADE. Does
anyone know how to Downgrade? When I throw the Business edition CD in,
Vista Ultimate ejects it automatically. So I can not install Vista Business
over Vista Ultimate.

You cannot install Vista Business over Vista Ultimate. You'll need to do a
clean install.

One thought for you!

Go into Control Panel in Ultimate, and have a look in Add and Remove Windows
Features.
I have never looked in that section of ultimate, as to what extra features
are installed in there for Ultimate.

Worth a look!

You'll have to compare the features of Ultimate and Business Here's a link
to a 60+ mB download of the features:

The table is on pages 17 - 20.

Once you find that, remove the components as the previous poster has stated,
then anything you can't find is likely to be running as a service - so try
services.msc to disable them.
