Windows Server - Update Windows 2003 Server to Windows 2003 Server R2

I want to know what I need to Update Windows 2003 Server to Windows 2003
Server R2, well my question is; Is necesary to format hard disk to update
Windows 2003 Server R2 or only run the update?

let me know what is the step please?

  Danny Sanders replied...

You would run adprep from the second disk of the R2 set, on the schema
master for your domain, to prepare your domain/forest for the new features
of R2.

Then you would run setup2 from the second disk of the R2 set to install the
new R2 features on the specific servers you want to use the new R2 features
on.

Of course the Win 2k3 server has to be SP1.

Source Code Windows Server Here is an article about how the NT source code was leaked and apparently even will it be before Microsoft has new operating systems with new source code. Wikipedia mentions Windows 7 will use the Windows NT source code much to my dismay. How about the successor to Windows 7 will people finally get an operating system with new source code that will be co.uk / 1 / hi / technology / 3485545.stm http: / / en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Windows_7 Security Discussions Windows XP Embedded (1) SQL Server (1) Windows XP (1) Windows Server 2003 (1) Windows Server 2008 (1) Internet Explorer 7 (1) Windows
