Hi David

Thanks for your reply.

New Hardware is a Dell R510 server old hardware is an older Dell server with a dell TL2000 robotic tape library

Is it possible to re-image the new server and start the migration again using answer file without using the backup? (like demoting new server & startin a new migration)

Software used is MS SBS 2003 & Symantec Backup exec 12 for windows servers small business edition. (Any tips on what i should restores from backup (system state ??)) if this is the only way to go

I just migrated from SBS 2003 to 2008 using David's book.

Everything went well until i started the first updates for the sbs server

the server hanged at configuring updates: Stage3 of 3 0%

I've read in another blog that restarting the server in safe mode could solve this issue, I did and at first it looked good installation progress went to 100% but after that nothing......restarting in normal mode gives the previous message (configuring updates: Stage3 of 3 0%) So im stuck with a server that does not work.

My question can i reinstall the sbs 2008 and do the migration again without ruining anything ??
