Guest Stijn Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Hello, We have a W2003 SP2 server. We have the original CD's of W2003 SP1 R2. Can we use this CD2 to upgrade to SP2 R2. Thanks in advance

I don't think it'll work though - CD2 will probably complain that it's not running on the right version of Windows. That's just a guess though. -- Chris. > "Chris M" wrote: > >> Stijn wrote: >>> Hello, >>> We have a W2003 SP2 server. We have the original CD's of W2003 SP1 R2.
