Upgrading server 2008r2 standard to enterprise
We just upgraded from server 2003 standard to server 2008R2 Enterprise, or so we thought, apparently the guy that did the install chose standard rather than enterprise. We are actively running on this server but need to move it up to enterprise. Is there
a simple way to do this?

Yes, you can upgrade from Windows Server 2008 Standard to Enterprise.

To do so, boot into your Windows Server 2008 Standard, insert the Windows Server 2008 disk and run it. Input a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise key or
choose Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and then you can perform the upgrade installation.
