Upgrade server 2008 standard 32bit to Server 2008 Enterprise R2 64 bit
I need help, step by step on how to upgrading my current server 2008 standard 32 bit to a new server running server 2008 enterprise r2. I have already installed the 2008 r2 software on the new box . Can any body tell me what are the steps to do the migration and retire the old server or keep it as a bdc.
Thanks

Would I have to give the new server a different domain name or can I keep the same domain name as the old server?
Thanks

What about the instructions I posted confuses you?
I stated: join it to the domain as a member server - you are familiar with these terms? I checked your profile but you don't have it filled out - so I have NO IDEA of your skill level. Based on your last post, I assume you have very little skill in working with servers and domains. Is that true? If so, I strongly advise you to hire someone qualified to do this. If that's not the case, please provide a more descriptive response about what you are not understanding.
