Good Day:
Does anybody know if you can upgrade a server from Server 2003 R2sp1 32BIT
to Server 2008 64BIT, without doing a complete clean install.

THanks,
D

No 32 to 64 bit upgrades are possible.

Hello Darren,

No, you can not upgrade 32bit to 64bit OS. It always require a fresh install.
But you can add a 64bit machine to a domain which has only 32bit OS and move
all imortant roles and settings.

Best regards
