What 2008 server download to use for USC or OpenManage?
Hi,
I would like to install Windows Server Standard 2008 on a Dell R610. On the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service page, there are several versions. I think I need one of these:
o Windows Server Standard 2008 R2
o Windows Server Standard 2008 R2 with SP1
o Windows Server Standard 2008
o Windows Server Standard 2008 with Service Pack 2
Basically, I need a version that will work with the Dell USC or OpenManage during the assisted OS install. Will they all work? Each one takes a long time download.

Thanks, Rindi! I installed 2008 R2 via OpenManage.

Thank you for responding.
Yes, I have a license for R2.
Does OpenManage run on a bare system? If not, I think I can use USC.
