Jim Behning SBS MVP <jimbehning[ at ]doesthisblockpork.mindspring.com> 12/30/2008 1:06:23 PM I ordered it last week via the Microsoft web site for one of my customers. I have not seen it yet so who knows.

Re: SBS2008 available for SA customers? "Gary S" <garysmith[ at ]deletethis.cummingsandsmith.com> 12/30/2008 1:14:40 PM Actually, with a little more patience and work on the MS eopen website, I was able to order the upgrade.

Re: SBS2008 available for SA customers? "SteveB" <newsgroup[ at ]public.lan> 12/30/2008 3:19:08 PM However I don't believe that SKU available on eOpen (T75-02424) includes the other SA goodies such as Outlook 2007, ISA 2006, additional Server 2008 , etc. that we are entitled to. Microsoft is making it more difficult to get those. "Gary S" <garysmith[ at ]deletethis.cummingsandsmith.com> wrote in message news:OtekRCoaJHA.2620[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Re: SBS2008 available for SA customers? "SteveB" <newsgroup[ at ]public.lan> 12/30/2008 4:58:04 PM I haven't tried yet as others have indicated it can be a painful process. According to Eric's blog here are the SKUs you need to order from fulfillment but evidently not all the folks there are aware of this. Once I receive the order from eOpen for the basic SBS 2008 I plan to try ordering these additional items. http://blogs.msdn.com/mssmallbiz/archive/2008/12/09/9188009.aspx "Gary S" <garysmith[ at ]deletethis.cummingsandsmith.com> wrote in message news:eKFdzypaJHA.1184[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...
