One of the biggest questions many people have is can my existing server support SBS 2008? Given SBS 2008 is indeed a full 64 bit operating system, this is one of the major requirements for any system that needs to run SBS 2008. You will also need to have a minimum of 4GB of RAM and a single network card to install as well. How do you find out if your CPU is capable of this? You can go check the manufacturers site to verify it, but it s easier to run one of these two utilities.
CPUID This shows my laptop s spec s The EM64T parameter on the instructions line below shows it is capable.
Gibson Research also has a tool which makes things much more clear. You can download it here
Both tools will show you if your system is capable of running a 64 bit operating system, but I prefer the 2nd tool as it makes it so very clear 🙂 Now that you know your system is capable of running SBS 2008, you need to bear in mind that you CAN NOT INPLACE upgrade it to SBS 2008. You will need to plan how you will migrate over to SBS 2008.
Although 4GB is technically the minimum RAM requirements for SBS2008, I’ve found that it won’t install on some 4GB systems if they have integrated graphics, since that reserves some of the system memory. While it’s always preferred to install 8GB on these machines, if that’s not an option you can work around this requirement by using Task Manager to launch RegEdit on the first page of the installation wizard and adding the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Setup]
“SkipReq”=”RamRequirement”
Hi Chad – thanks for the comment. SBS 2008 will warn if you have less than 4GB of RAM during installation, however it will only STOP if you have less than 3.2GB of RAM. I would be cautious of using your suggested registry modification in anything other than a test environment.
Thanks for commenting
