Nope I have never had any problems installing the R2 components on SBS. Though you should always have a clean backup because anything is possible. <br />
<br />
Usually I just install the components and reboot and that is that.

Yes, there are a number of things you should check before installing the R2 upgrade. &nbsp;See <a href="http://sbsurl.com/r2" rel="ugc">http://sbsurl.com/r2</a>&nbsp;for details.<br />

My concerns are that all the documentation about upgrading seems to start with SBS-2003 SP1. &nbsp;My system has already been upgraded to SBS-2003 SP2. &nbsp;I'm trying to see if there are any additional problems that I might encounter going from SBS 2003 SP2 to SBS2003 R2 SP1. &nbsp;Of course, the R2 would then need to be upgraded to SP2.<br />
