Guest E-Double Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Can Win 2003 Std be upgraded in place to Win 2003 Enterprise (ie without having to do a clean install) ? The 4GB memory limit in the Standard Edition is causing problems as it runs our SQL 2005 Server so we assume we will have to follow this upgrade path. TIA ...

Hello, Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition: Upgrade or new installation? http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/0e70cdff-23da-4805-a647-f39fea0eaaf61033.mspx?mfr=true You may better go to 64 Bit, to get outstanding performance with SQL 2005. It's the same license fee, you move from 32 to 64 for free. with 64 bit, you can stay in Standard mode, so you don't have to buy an enterprise license, up to 32G of ram. https://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsserver/evaluate/features/compare.mspx -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "E-Double" <EDouble@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:74E48117-0919-4A71-9A48-C9435C3A8228@microsoft.com... > Can Win 2003 Std be upgraded in place to Win 2003 Enterprise (ie without > having to do a clean install) ?

Guest E-Double Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: Win 2003 Std to Ent upgrade questions... We did not think of that before the post, but since you brought it up we are double-checking to make sure our hardware and version of SQL Server will support it. So that was a good call on your part for bringing that to our attention - much appreciated sir. e.

Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: Win 2003 Std to Ent upgrade questions... you can download for free SQL 2005 64 bit. Even SQL CAL are both 32 & 64 bit. Ask your retail vendor, or download evaluation and register it with your current serial. For hardware, it can be AMD 64 or intel EMT64 download trial here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb430831.aspx click the Download Trial Software link -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "E-Double" <EDouble@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:504B7157-9830-43B1-A58A-3CF335C2FF03@microsoft.com... > We did not think of that before the post, but since you brought it up we > are > double-checking to make sure our hardware and version of SQL Server will > support it.
