W2003 SP2 -> W2003 R2 SP2. How?

Can anoyone suggest me a step by step to upgrade WS2003 SP2 to WS2003 R2
SP2? I need R2 especially to upgrade my existing DSF infrastructure to
DFSR, is this possible?

Thanks a lot.

Ricky

 

Hello RickyTR,

Did you try to start the setup from the R2 disk, normally just insert the
second R2 disk and run setup2.exe? DOes it work? AFAIK, you have to uninstall
SP2 before installing R2 on it and then install the SP again.

Best regards

Hello RickyTR,

Normally it is just inserting the disk and start setup by hand or it runs
automatic.

yes, just integrate the R2 SP2 binaries (setup or something from disk 2)
with the server that should become R2. then install the feature you need
through add/remove programs

Hi,

You can refer to the following article to upgrade to Windows server 2003 R2.

How to upgrade Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 to Windows Server
2003 R2

Meanwhile, you should also verify the following before starting to upgrade
window server 2003 to windows server 2003 R2:

o Stock-keeping unit (Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter)
o Platform (x86 or x64)
o Language version
o Installed channel type
o Channel type for the product key



Hope this helps.

I would like to know if the informations on articles can fit my WS2003 with
SP2.

Thanks a lot.

Ricky

 

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, this also fits for Windows server 2003 SP2. However, for some specific
scenarios, we must remove Windows Server 2003 SP2 before upgrading. Please
check if these scenarios mentioned in the article below fit for yours.

Some scenarios, you must remove Windows Server 2003 SP2 before you upgrade
to the full retail version of Windows Small
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932600/en-us

<I need R2 especially to upgrade my existing DSF infrastructure to DFSR, is
this possible?>

After upgrading, you should migrate FRS to DRSR. However, there is no
officially supported tool to migrate from FRS to DFS Replication. However,
there is an unsupported script that can migrate FRS configuration to DFS
Replication. For more information, read this blog post with sample VB code
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=73989.

We are providing this information as a convenience to you. We does not
control these sites and has not tested any software or information found on
these sites; We caution you to make sure that you completely understand the
risk before using the information on this site.

Hope this helps.
