Re: SBSR2 Install Sequence... can you upgrade R2 from SE to PE?

Charlie,

Have you done anything with virtualization?

My SBS R2 box is also my virtual server host, using both VS2005 R2 SP1 and
VM Ware Server... so I have 2 terminal servers running on top of the R2 box
as well as two WXP clients... an x86 and an x64 version. One of the benefits
of running VM Ware is the ability to host 64 bit OS's on top of a 32 bit
host. <VBG>

Enough of the preamble... I just wondered what sort of issues I might
encounter once I set up ISA, ie: flip R2 SE to PE.

Anyone with input can chime in.

Thanks!

Yes, that should work fine. I did that at least once during the beta (I
had the workgroup bits early.)

Thought I'd pick your brain Charlie and get the quick heads up on this.

I clean installed my R2 copy and added the R2 bits *PRIOR* to bringing
the
machine to Premium Edition. This is a test box as the R2 Beta didn't have
all of the final stuff in it... and I wanted to see the final pieces in
action.

I should be able to bring this box to Premium by just installing the
premium programs that I want to... no?
