Upgrade of Windows 2003 R2 Std Terminal server to Enterprise Editi

[Guest PrajithK]

Good Morning to All,

 

We are planning to upgrade our Windows 2003 R2 STD Terminal servers to

Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. Can anyone let me know the Risks

invloved in this?

 

My main concern is do i need to upgrade my Domain and Exchange servers also

to Enterprise edition? Can an Enterprise Terminal server be the client of

Windows 2003 R2 Std Domain server?

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Prajith

Enterprise and standard can coexist just fine no matter which one is a role.

I do not think you have anything to worry about as you are simply unlokcing

certain features that are already there. In other words, you aren't really

adding anything to standard, it's there already. It's simply unlocking the

features.

Jeff,

 

Many thanks to your advice. I am bit relaxed! But just to make things more

clear before action, please let me know the steps to do the upgrade. Do i

need to boot from CD rom or can i simply put the CD in the drive and open it

from windows std?

Is there any upgrade option when you insert the enterprise CD or i need

select repair option?

 

please help.

 

Thanks,

Prajith

If I remember correctly, it's an upgrade option when you put the CD in.

Re: Upgrade of Windows 2003 R2 Std Terminal server to Enterprise E

 

BrittinC,

 

The upgrade went smoothly. I dont think you will have any problems but dont

forget add the /PAE switch in your boot.ini file if you have 32bit OS. Also i

would recommend you to do the microsoft update after the upgrade finished.

 

good luck with the upgrade.
