Guest ssg31415926 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 When I pull up the Properties of My Computer on a Server 2003 box, there's nothing to say whether it's R2 or not. Is there a way to tell from the GUI that it's R2?

Guest youngec@hotmail.com Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Re: R2 or not R2, that is the question I think if you install 2003 R2, but cancel the prompt for CD2 (the R2 components), then it remains a 'normal' 2003 install, even if you used the product key for 2003 R2. Confusing, at best.
