Sharepoint 3.0 to Sharepoint 2010 Foundation.....
One of the IT guys we "outsource" to just installed Sharepoint 3.0 on our new Server 2008 R2, instead of installing Sharepoint 2010 Foundation (like I was thinking was going to happen)...
No setting have been applied and it is a basic installation.
Can I simply upgrade to the 2010 Foundation version? Is it easy enough for me to do (I have some, but a limited IT knowledge), or should I have him do the update?
I don't really know anything about the two, so any information would be appreciated

you should just uninstall the wss3 and install sharepoint foundation 2010 clean. No point in doing an upgrade you don't have anything in there so just uninstall and install fresh with the correct version
You should have it done by some consultant ,its better , unless you love to read blogs and MSDN infomration posted on the net . All i will recomment is to do lots of reading before you do it by yourself. It also depend on the architecture/ infrastructure you have . if its a big farm you need to consider some scenarios. Its not little but i will say much different than WSS or MOSS and eventually it will become the one famous application in your organization so need to consider lots of things before you go fo it by yourself .
if its new and nothing has been posted on your sites yet , its a good idea to do what sharepointguru14 said .

Another question that is related...
Sharepoint Foundation 2010 is "free" if you are properly licensed for Windows Server...If we have two different 2008 R2 servers, one running Exchange and one used as our Web Server and we purchased around 35 CALS for server 2008, are the CALS specific for one server, or generic for the network in its entirety? If they are generic for the network, can Sharepoint Foundation be installed on either server then? Also, can Sharepoint Foundation be installed on the Exchange 2010 server, or must it be installed on the separate server for compatibility reasons?

We were good on licensing and I did install Sharepoint on an alternate server, and not the Exchange server. I really appreciate the input! Thanks!
