How to upgrade from Windows server2008 standard sp1 to Server 2008 R2
Hi we have a Server 2008 Standard and want to ipgrade it to R2, does anyone have a step by step guide of how to do this and what you need to do to prepare for it?
We will be upgrading a DC, DNS, Antivirus, File Server, Print server,DHCP server from server 2008 Standard to 2008 standard R2.
there is also another server which is running exchange 2007 i mention this so as to rule out that once svr1 is upgraded that the exchange server stops running as this would be very bad
Cheers

We want to upgrade a current server 2008 standard and it is 64bit OS.
This is the only DC on the network so it is crucial that we retain all info setting/programs etc from the upgrade.

So basically what you are saying is if you are going to do anything to change the OS on your DC Server move it to competly new hardware rather than an upgrade of the existing OS.
Is your current 2008 box 32 bit or 64 bit?
Thanks
