R2 is about the Option Packs, the core binaries are Windows Server 2003 SP1. Look over the option packs (ADFS, DFSR, ADAM, UNIX stuff, etc) and if there is something there, then that is why you will want to go in that direction.

The coolest thing in R2 in terms of AD, IMO, is the inclusion of ADAM in the base media and the new and improved AD tools in the ADAM installation (you can also get those in the ADAM SP1 installation as well). If you have any up and coming schema mods I would look at incorporating the R2 bits then so if you end up building R2 DCs later you don't need to schedule something special, also some of the option packs need some of that info.

Did R2 make any changes to Active Directory and its supporting services?
