Guest hbeardave Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Ok, this may be a very naive question, ....but under my Computer properties, it shows Windows 2003 Server with Service Pack 2. I don't see any mention of "R2" Is that something completely different, or should I use the R2 Disk 2? hbear
Guest Brett I. Holcomb Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: SP2 without R2? R2 is the version after 2003 server. It is not the same. hbeardave wrote: > Ok, this may be a very naive question, > > ...but under my Computer properties, it shows Windows 2003 Server with > Service Pack 2. > > I don't see any mention of "R2" > > Is that something completely different, or should I use the R2 Disk 2? > > hbear
Guest hbeardave Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: SP2 without R2? Thanks Brett, Ok...so if I've got a small domain (2 servers, 80 clients), and I am transitioning clients to Vista...is there something in R2 that is needed to make this work better? The reason I ask is that I've already added the Group Policy ADMX stuff for Vista onto the servers, and have edited using GPMC.MSC from a Vista computer on the domain...but I'm having trouble with group policies and roaming profiles working properly... 1. Is there any reason to believe that installing R2 would help here 2. Do I need to re-install SP2 after upgrading to R2? Thanks for any and all suggestions. hbear "Brett I.

Guest Brett I. Holcomb Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: SP2 without R2? If I remember correctly R2 was 2003 with updates and fixes and enhancements in some areas such as printer management and others. I don't think going to R2 would help your problem but then I'm no expert. I administer some Windows servers (mixed versions) and don't have an AD (yet - it's coming). I would think Vista may be the issue here but again, I've run Vista Ultimate at home some but we are not going to it. hbeardave wrote: > Thanks Brett, > > Ok...so if I've got a small domain (2 servers, 80 clients), and I am > transitioning clients to Vista...is there something in R2 that is needed to > make this work better? > > The reason I ask is that I've already added the Group Policy ADMX stuff for > Vista onto the servers, and have edited using GPMC.MSC from a Vista computer > on the domain...but I'm having trouble with group policies and roaming > profiles working properly... > > 1.

Guest Ctech2627 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Re: SP2 without R2? Hi Hbear, I'm looking at installing R2 on some of my servers to take advantage of the Disk and file mgmt features. I've got SP2 on these servers and keep getting prompted to uninstall SP2. Did u get around to installing R2 in your environment and if so did so have to uninstall and reinstall SP2? Where there any issues?
