Yes you have to have SP1,
Either way will work. If you install SP1 first then you will only need use Disc 2. If you don't have SP1 installed you need to use both disks which will install SP1 for you.
I would install SP1 even if you were not planning to install R2 at this time.
If you are installing on a DC then you will also have to upgrade the schema using forest prep(on disk 2) then run domain prep on your domain.

Hey all,
I am having a debate and wondering if the following is true:
1)You must upgrade your 2003 servers to SP1 before going to R2.
2)You can upgrade a existing 2003 server to SP1 and then load the components from R2 onto it from R2 disk 2.
Or
3)Must you load the R2 disk 1 2003 Operating System disk with SP1 embedded and then load R2 disk 2 onto it.
Just trying to figure out if we need to upgrade to SP1 and then we can load the components of R2 onto our existing 2003 servers, or if we need to load the R2 disk 1 operating system, which contains SP1 already, and then R2 disk 2.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Nate Bahta
