Running MS SBS 2003 (no longer utilizing the Exchange Server email hosting feature; it's pretty much a file server for around 15 users, utilizing Active Directory for permissions, file access, etc.)
Would like to use same box (Dell server with RAID setup) and avoid a wipe clean install. Can 2012 Essentials be installed without formatting the hard drives (and erasing 6 years of data)? And yes, the data is backed up nightly, but would like to avoid the restore process.
Responses apprreciated
