So are you saying once you completely update the RTM it is just like GDR? But until updates and patches its not the same?

Correct, the RTM will be more outdated than the GDR install until service packs and updates are installed.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a Geogrpahix program that works on one server, but doesn't work on another server. &nbsp;Both Servers are Clean installed and setup the same way. &nbsp;The only difference I can tell right now is that:<br />
<br />
Server1 is installed with a 7600.win7_gdr.100618-1621 BuildLab<br />
<br />
Server2 is installed with a 7600.win7_tmr.090713-1255 BuildLab<br />
<br />
Would this make any kind of difference? Like I said we just clean installed with 2 different media and trying to find out if the gdr would be different from the tmr and make it so a program wont work.<br />

Is there a Difference between a &quot;RTM&quot; and a &quot;GDR&quot; server release?

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.

Microsoft Server Apps

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
