i just installed a fresh instance of Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 As i attempt to run CD2 in order to complete the install and bring this to R2 it is prompting me for a key. I entered the same key that was used for the first part of the install and it will not accept the key! I even attempted to use a new key from Technet and it wont accept that key either... only time i have run into an issue like this is when i type the key incorrectly! Anyone ever run into this issue before?

Hello, this sounds for me as the installed SP is higher then the second R2 disk.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi, The CD2 is R2 pack, you need another key for it. Best Regards, Vincent Hu

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 32 bit and 64bit has different keys check properly. For R2 CD2 installation it needs Windows 2003 R2 key. Thanks

Hello, depending on the license version there is only an option with one key for both of them.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
