Is it possible to upgrade 2K3 from Standard to Enterprise without having to

rebuild the OS?

Hi Paul,

 

It's not possible, as far as i know. What you can do is an in-place

upgrade - boot from the windows 2003 enterprise CD and choose to install

over the existing OS - that will keep your programs and settings. I wouldn't

recommend this, if you have something heavy like AD or exchange running on

the existing server.

 

Regards,

 

Andrew

Re: Upgrading from 2K3 Standard to Enterprise

 

Not much of an answer I realize...

 

Lets try that again.

 

Yes you can upgrade from std to ent

No, not without rebuilding the OS

 

The upgrade process basically means booting the system with the ent 2003

CD and doing the upgrade, whether this 'implies rebuilding the OS'

depends on your view of what that means.

 

It's not something simple like getting the right volume key in place.

 

Hope that helps.
