I needed the functionality that this provided for the systems in our meeting rooms, as people have a habit of leaving the systems logged on in there then leaving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prerequisites for this upgrade/migration are that the SBS 2003 server must be at SP2, with Exchange 2003 also at SP2. In addition to this both your domain functional level AND forest functional level must be running at 2003 native (This is the highest available on SBS 2003 SP2).
