Guest Peter Lawton Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I need to change a windows 2003 server standard edition to enterprise edition. The server is running W2003 standard R2 and is fully up to date with all it's patches. How can I go about doing the upgrade? Thanks Peter Lawton

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Re: Upgrading server 2003 standard to enterprise Hello Daniel, And it should be really easy, just put the disk in your drive when windows is running and wait. It will check the server and provide you the options you have.
