 * Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5

This article was previously published under Q217985



SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade your computer from BackOffice Small Business Server (SBS) 4.0 to SBS 4.5, you are unable to move most of the installed server programs to other locations. Programs that are affected may include:
 * Microsoft Exchange Server
 * Microsoft Windows NT Option Pack
 * Microsoft Fax Server
 * SBS Modem Sharing Service
 * SBS Administrator



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because you are performing an upgrade installation. The upgrade programs for each product do not have the ability to move the installation files, including the user-created data for those programs (for example, Exchange Server databases and Web sites hosted by Microsoft Internet Information Server).



RESOLUTION
If you need to move the server programs to another drive or partition, you must remove and reinstall the programs.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Only Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0, and the client programs can be moved from the default installation location.
