We currently have CRM 1.2 installed on a sbs2000 server.  We are looking to 
upgrade this server to sbs2003r2 and we also want to upgrade CRM from 1.2 to 
3.0.  Can someone recommend the best upgrade path?

This is partial book smarts and partial experience...

Book smarts:
Upgrade to CRM 3.0 on the SBS2000 box (assuming SQL 2000)

Experience:
Redeploy to SBS2k3R2 box using CRM 3.0 redeployment tool
Upgrade to Rollup 1

My experience was to take it from a 3.0 to 3.0 on R2, so I had a SQL 2000 ->
SQL 2005 on a new domain.  I recommend that you backup and follow the
directions to a T.

The upgrade from 1.2 to 3.0 may provide some challenges, but since I have
not done this, I really can't comment.

Good luck!

Jeff

Jeff:

Have you even upgraded 1.2 on SBS to SQL 2000/2005?
