Don't forget to consider app dependencies on the server in question... Exchange 2007 for instance.. isn't currently supported on R2 at all, and this would probably also fall under the MS decree of "don't upgrade the underlying OS on a functional Exchange Server"

Sean Rector, MCSE -----Original Message----- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 8:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Upgrade from Server 2008 to 2008 R2 Has anyone done any in-place updates from Server 2008 to 2008 R2? If so, what were your experiences? I've Google'd this and have found less information that I expected. The consensus seems to be that it should work if the stars are properly aligned. The key is you need to already be running the 64-bit version of 2008; you can't jump from 32-bit to 64-bit.
