I think you're overcomplicating this. All you should have to do is install Exchange 5.5 Enterprise on top of Standard and reapply the latest service pack, after taking a couple of backups of course.

The server was just build w/ standard - a database restored from another server to be retired w/ the same name. Restore worked fine, had the server running standard edition no problem We then tried to upgrade to enterprise by running setup and selecting reinstall - first time we came up w/ an error that pointed to a kb article (I don't have the # handy) that said to run exchange optimizer, reboot - so we did that - next time we ran the setup for 5.5 enterprise - it just hangs when it says that setup if verifying whats on the computer. Event log shows edb starting and stopping the database engine twice, then nothing System is win2k adv server sp3 - exchange 5.5 sp4 (b4 the enterprise install) The old server we moved over from was the same config - only it was win2k server not advanced New server has 2 hyperthread cpus (shows up as 4) and 2gb of ram. Anything I'm missing here? Anyone seen anything like this?
