answer to all is : no <br />
<br />
We are talking windows server 2003 for both installed and to install?<br />
you do a repair install (second chance you get to see it not the first one) <br />
install media must match the service pack of the installed media (or be higher)<br />
you will need the enterprise install media<br />
<br />
if you are buying this why not future proof while you are at it. windows 2008 x86 vs w2k3 which is on its way out.<br />

Dear Champions,<br />
<br />
<br />
I've an query regarding upgrading &quot;Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 (32bit)&quot; ---&gt; &quot;Windows Server Enterprise Edition (32 bit)&quot;<br />
<br />
<br />
Things that I need to know:<br />
<br />
1. Could the 'Upgrade' lead to Data Loss?<br />
<br />
2. Will it effect any existing Applications?<br />
<br />
3. In terms of the Installation media, Do I need a Enterprise Edition Media and then I choose Upgrade option or is there a separate Media for the Upgrade?<br />
<br />
4. Do I need the standard Enterprise License or a 'Upgrade' license?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Any other info would be helpful too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you.
