Windows Server R2 issue RRS feed

  • 問題

  • At first, I bought a MS Windows Server R2 for small business server and contains R2 features such as printing management. After the installation, I found that the OS is MS Windows Server for small business server and not what I want. Of course, it has not contains any special feature that I mention.

    So, how can I upgrade it to the  OS contains R2 features or I need to buy the Server R2 again ??

    The Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Transition Pack helps your business grow as your technology needs change by:

    1.

    Converting your Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 license into standard licenses for each of the individual server components, such as Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Exchange Server 2003 SP2.

    2.

    Removing the design constraints of Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2, which include a 75 user or device limit, support for branch offices, and a requirement to keep Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 as the main logon server.

    3.

    Protecting your software investment. Pricing has been designed so that you won't pay any more than if you had bought the individual product components initially.

  • Hi,

     

    I throught your question is you purchase a Small Business Server 2003 with R2 but you want to have the Windows Server 2003 instead.

     

    Please let us know what feature you want so we can recommend you a server version

     

    Thanks and Regards
