I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade winxp pro to Win server 2003. The reason I want to do that is that the Winxp machine has a problem where you can only have 10 concurent connections and the people that use the machine are in need of more. I can not format and do a fresh install of Win server 2003 seeing that there are software on there that are very costley to get the right people out to come and do the installations over. The machine is used by a accounting department and was used bt them as a server and Win xp is not server like at all. Can someone please give me advise. Thanx

You cannot "upgrade" XP to Server 2003 - an option may be to install Server 2003 on another machine (or HD) and migrate applications.
