Looking for Server 2003 R2 Download

I have a network with a 2003 Server in production. We recently got 2 new printers. I would like to use a GPO to push these printers to all machines on the network. I read about needing Server 2003 R2 to do this.

I have also read to install this, use disk # 2 that came with the original software labeled R2 technologies. Our installation came as a single disk and it doesn't appear to contain the R2 software.

Does anyone know if this is downloadable from Microsoft?

Thanks!

I do not have any paid subscriptions to Microsoft. I would've thought that if it is an add-on of some sort to an already purchased OS, it would be made available with no charge.

Thanks for the information!

I think that is going to be the problem. This server was installed before SP 1 was released. It only has a single HD that is COMPLETELY 10GB! I am looking to replace but will not have the budget until December so I have to make due with what I've got.
The R2 was not purchased since the R2 didn't exist before this was put in production. I am not really concerned with the total R2, I just want the ability to install printers through GPO's.

Thanks all for your input. Does anyone know if the GPO functionality is installable outside the R2?
