asked on
Server 2003 EE and Server 2003 EE R2 - which one is which
Two Server 2003 Enterprise Edition are installed. One is the "old" version and one is the R2 .. Both Volume License ..
Now I try to find a way to check which one is which .. Sorry for the silly question, but I just installed those two machine for testing and try to compare them.
The only significant thing I was able to spot was the post-setup procedure where all incoming connections are blocked until you close that particiular window.
But how can you check later which one is which ?
Systeminfo shows on both
OS Name Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
Version 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1 Build 3790
Again, not important, just wondering ...

Hi Cassavatech,
Run the batch file found on the page below to determine if it is R2...

@rhandels : shows me on both the same :(
@jss1199 : As far as my testing now goes : This script seems to determine which version of R2 you got, not IF you got R2 :(

You just want to know which server has R2 installed and which one doesn't?
Hit ctrl-alt-del (or if you RDPed in, choose start, windows security). It will says 2003 R2 if it's R2.

Ok, now I installed again the MSDN version from the DVD we got ... I thought first since I installed from the DVD it installed everything anyway. So you are right, I need to install manually from the 2nd CD .. only one problem, our volume license key does not work for the 2nd CD and I cannot find any special R2 key in our agreement, but I guess thats a different issue which can only be sorted by calling M$ ....
Thanks for the points...happy to assist.
Try using the winver command, this should give you a good clue..
