2003 SP2 Appliance to R2 stevep 02.07.2007 10:44:01 We have an Appliance edition NAS with 2003 server Std + SP2. I've tried to install R2 but on running the 2nd disc it asks for the key. Have tried both the std & R2 keys, either of which work. We have upgraded all the other normal 2003 servers to R2 ok but not this Appliance edition. What is the requirements for upgrading this?

What is the requirements for upgrading this? I'm not sure what "appliance" edition means. Do you mean Windows Storage Server? If so, that's an OEM product only, and I don't know that you can upgrade it to R2; you'd want to check with the mfr.

Re: 2003 SP2 Appliance to R2 stevep 03.07.2007 16:06:03 it came with the server mfr so im guessing it is oem. On the windows bootup splash says Appliance yet the about states it as Std. Since then SP2 has been installed. Its annoying i cant install fsrm as this server is the main file server, the precise place where its needed.

Perhaps you should contact the hardware manufacturer....and perhaps you needed to buy a regular W2003 server license & CALs. > > "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" wrote: > >> stevep <stevep[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >>> We have an Appliance edition NAS with 2003 server Std + SP2.
