If R2 wasn't released when you bought Windows 2003, then you don't have a license for R2, and cannot legally install it. R2 is a separate product you have to buy. It's not a Service Pack or update. Your president is going to be approving another purchase soon. :-) Microsoft could have called it "Windows Server 2005" instead of "Windows 2003 R2". In my opinion, they should have. It would be a lot less confusing. "Windows 2008 R2" should also be "Windows 2009". Or go back to version numbers. Or hell, call them "Fred" and "Barney" for all I care, but *be consistent*, for $DEITY's sake. None of this "sometimes a name, sometimes a year, sometimes a version number, sometimes both at once" crap. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
