That's unfortunate. Anyone know of a third-party product that behaves like VSS from Windows 2003? Is it possible to have another Windows 2003 server perform VSS on my 725?
Question -- Is there an upgrade path from Windows Powered OS to WIndows Storage Server 2003 on a PV755N ?
Has anyone got an answer to this yet or better still a part number for the upgrade kit as I have two new Power vault 775N that that have been waiting for this upgrade before I go live with them for two months now. It appears Dell is ship new 775N with MS Storage Works but not sell you the upgrade pack why

I think there is an upgrade kit, but would have to call Dell, but not sure it is free or not.- After being given countless false promises by Dell reps that a MS Storage works upgrade will be available for the PowerVault 775N despite asking for it to be delivered with 2003 in the first place I can’t wait any longer. As the box is effectively a Power Edge 2650 what is to stop me installing Windows 2003 Enterprise server on the box?

I suspect nothing - Please try it and let us know if it works :)Here is the link:
I think the main drawback to installing Windows 2003 Enterprise, is that you now would have to worry about cal's. The "easy migration path to Windows Storage Server 2003" would be preferable in my case.
My problem is that I can't get Dell to give it to me, tell me where I can get it or acknowledge that it exists. Contacting my salesrep has not been helpful.
