Thanks thinkpads_user. No problems encountered because of the .net install, I did have a scary moment that night though. I thought I do them a favor and free some space on the c drive by moving the pagefile to the d drive.<br />
<br />
After a reboot I got connection errors when trying to login or manage the progress database. I had no access to the database.<br />
I put a pagefile back on c and everything was working again.<br />
<br />
Thanks again

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to install .net 4 to this server. Currently the only thing this server does is run a database program from Epicor called Vista 8. It's not heavily used.<br />
<br />
Is there anything I should consider before installing .net. <br />
The reason I'm installing this is because another vendor will be installing Abra payroll software to this server and .net 4 is requirement.<br />
<br />
Thats antoher thing, I'm always uneasy installing additional software to servers. But that's kind of what they are there for, right? I mean, you can't have a server for every application.<br />
Another thing I'd like to do is add a role to this server. Backup Domain controller.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts are appreciated.

.net 4 install to windows 2003 r2 sp2 server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
