Windows Server 2003 Standard edition with SP1 Evaluation
Posted by tsomj on March 30th, 2006


Hi
I have come to the end of the evalution period of 180 days for the trial
version.
I have received the full version but aI am not sure how to proceed.
If i just run setup from the full version cd, will the configuration of my
server be the same or will I have to do a complete clean install and loose
all from the past 180 days.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

It is recommended to start fresh (format and install).

Also please see:

It can ease a bit of your workload.
