Migration Step Twelve: Turn off WSUS on the source server
Saying 'no to patches' reminded me that if you have an SBS 2003 R2 with WSUS on the box and ESPECIALLY if you have a Win2k8 server in the network, go into the source server box and disable the WSUS service there.
If you don't, during the install it may try to install patches on the server.
From the www.sbsmigrationtips.com site:
O. Disable WSUS on Source domain prior to migration
If you have a deadline set for a Windows 2008 update in WSUS that is past-due, your SBS 2008 setup can fail when the update is automatically installed and the SBS 2008 server is rebooted. Deadlines are not automatically set in SBS 2003 but can be set by the Admin through the native WSUS console. We recommend disabling WSUS for the duration of the migration.
