Upgrade Windows 2003 SP2 to R2

November 16, 2007

I have a windows server 2003 SP2 and want to upgrade to R2 (SP2) for the

additional programs. Does anyone know of any problems with this (it does not

seem to be mentioned anywhere on the MS site). Thanks.

There's no problem with this at all. R2 only adds additional functionality

and doesn't really change anything that's already there. All you need is R2

media and an R2 product key. Installation is straight forward (just pop in

Disk 2 from an R2 set). If this is a domain controller, there would be

additional steps to extend the schema.
