Re: what is r2 - upgrade?

Hello Eric,

R2 is a feature pack for 2003 which requires an additional license. A 2003
R2 version consist of 2 installation disk's, disk1 the "normal" 2003 installation
and disk2 with the additional R2 features. Not sure if this also is the case
for SBS version.

But as you stated that SBS is in use i strongly recommend to post to:
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

or

https://connect.microsoft.com/sbs08/...i/default.aspx

Additional post the problems you have with detailed description and event
viewer erorrs or displayed error messages. Otherwise helping you without
additional information will be a mess.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber
