The service pack that is required by the migration is the same for premium and standard. The reason you have to order the service pack details for premium edition is because it contains a completely new version of ISA server - taking the server from 2000 to 2004. Everything else is the same. Therefore I would download SBS Service pack 1 and install that. Then run the SBS Best practises tool and ensure that nothing else has been missed that it might require.

Just installing the component patches doesn't get everything "up to snuff". Did you try installing the standard sbs sp1? I don't remember this as an issue, but the last 2003->2008 upgrade I did was close to 2 years ago. Regards, Michael B.

In preparation for the migration I am going through the SBS Migration Check List and it is asking to verify that SBS 2003 SP1 is installed. Well as I investigate I find that SBS 2003 SP 1 has not been installed but, it appears that all the component pieces that make up SBS 2003 have the updates that were rolled into SP1. How can I be sure that this is the case? And if there is still a need for SBS SP1, how can I get that for SBS 2003 Premium since it has not been available from MS since 2007? There is a download for SP 1 for standard but for premium the CD set is required and the link to order that CD set (https://www.microsoft.upgrade.com/sbs/) requires the software key, once it is entered and the submit button is clicked, it comes back with a page saying that it is no longer available.
