Hello experts,<br />
<br />
I have installed W2K8 R2 STD on a BL server with 96 GB physical memory, but W2K8 R2 STD OS has a limit of 32 GB physical memory. We have decided to upgrade OS to W2K8 R2 Ent.<br />
How should I go about upgrading the OS, has it to be from scratch?<br />
This server will be used to host SQL 2008 DB's.<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
Thanks and Regards.
