Upgrading win2k3 standard to win2k3 Enterprise

[mwangi]

Hi All,

I got this server currently running win2k3 standard and I need to upgrade to Enterprise to takes advantage of the memory installed which is more than 4GB. Trying an upgrade, it records that the installed OS is a later version. What options do I have and reinstallation from scratch is not applicable?

The problem here is the service pack.

Copy the i386 folder of the W2k3 enterprise, download the sp2 and slipstream it into the i386 directory, when it finish run the instalation from the i386 folder.

to get sp2 integrated into the i386 folder (assuming you copied i386 folder to c:) run this from the command line:
servicepackfilename /integrate:c:\i386
