Thanks! Odd I couldn't find that last night, sometimes MSKB searching gets kinna strange - but that's the problem, and killing xcopy fixed it.

In taskmgr in addition to setup, there was an instance of xcopy started by the setup. We killed that b4 setup this time, and the setup proceeded, finished successfully... Odd - either way everything is up and running, reporting unlimited storage, and we just reinstalled sp4 w/o incident... Onto the hotfixes... Thanks anyway - anyone who wants to explain this, take your best shot :) -----Original Message----- From: Greg Sachs Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 11:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: upgrading 5.5 standard to enterprise We are trying to upgrade a server from Exchange 5.5 standard to Exchange 5.5 enterprise. 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?
