Hi, I would like to upgrade my Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition Sp2 to Windows Server 2008 R2Kindly let me know how will i upgrade? Is there any backup is required? Regards,Sudhir

Hi there,The upgrade path for 2008 to 2008 R2 is the same as for 2003 to 2003 R2. You can upgrade it qithout problems. Should you make a backup? Always.For the rest it is the same as a service pack installation.Hope this helps you.I've done this with 10 servers or so now and no problems what so ever with the OS or applications on it.Greetz, Jack Cobben MCTS, MCITP SA http://www.jackcobben.nl
