Guest v2win Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 What does the 'R2' designation mean for certain MS products? For example, Windows Server 2003, Virtual Server 2005, etc. have alternate versions with the same name except with R2 appended (e.g., Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2). What is the difference between the R2 and non-R2 designated products? Thx -- V2
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Re: What does 'R2' signify... Hello v2win, R2 is a feature pack for Windows server 2003 which adds additional functions and needs also an additional license.
