Any GOOD reasons to upgrade W2K3 DCs to R2 ?

Hi!

I'm actually doing an Active Directory health check & optimization and
would like to know if they are any GOOD reasons to upgrade all domain
controller (25) to W2K3 R2?

Actually they are all to SP2 & full patched...

Thanks.

R2 is just a feature update. If you don't need the updated features then you
should not install them.

Hello Claude,

If you like to use the R2 features, you have to if you don't need them there
is no reason. Also see here about the changes that require R2 schema update:
