We've migrated SBS 2003 to SBS 2011...so far everything has gone smoothly. We're in the final phase of migrating the last amount of data over.

Is there a way I can check to be sure that our old server isn't restarting due to the 21 day grace period? As our 21 days is up on Thursday. Yet it's restarting on its own now...maybe a power supply issue...?

Is there any way to extend the 21 days? or roll it back? or does this take a call to MSFT?

Very odd...

I'm sorry, there is no way to extend that limit. That is just the terms of the license and enforced by the software:

It actually was due to the grace period. The SBCore service was doing the 60-minute restart. It was doing this a full week early. We did find a work around so that we could finish our migration and take the server down: byronwright.blogspot.com/2009/07/… – Steve Jun 16 '11 at 20:04
@Steve Of course, it does make sense if you remove that. Thank you for the update. – KCotreau Jun 17 '11 at 1:53
