Windows Server 2003 R2 ?

[the-one1]

I have a Windows 2003 R2 media and VLK to be installed on a server. I've done 6 of these so far. After installing it, I check on the "Properties" of "My Computer" and it says "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack1"
It should say "R2" in that line just like the last 6 servers I built with R2.
1st I thought it might have been the media, but I tried it with another R2 media set, and same results. "systeminfo" from command line omits the R2. Any ideas why it would not report itself as R2?
Thanks.

Sounds like you are not running the second cd once it gets into windows.

R2 of std and enterprise use a windows server sp1 disk as the first disk and the r2 files are on the second disk.

After you load windows it should be prompting you for that second cd.

agree with above.. second cd is actually the R2 features. First is just windows

You can install the R2 Cd on any Windows 2003 SP1 or later server as long as it is in keeping with your licensing agreements. Great stuff!

Yea figured as much. Next question was going to be have you restarted it yet as it doesn't show it as r2 untill you reboot if I remember right.
