Upgrade our testlab machine from Windows 2008 64bit Ent SP2 to Windows 2008 R2 (RC).
What is running on top of it:
- IIS
- Hyper-V
How to upgrade? Just put in Windows 2008 R2 RC DVD, click for upgrade. It will show the programs/apps that is not compatible, you will need to uninstall some of the apps (that not supported) to ensure a smooth upgrade.
It will then prompt KB957256. As for today, not be able to find this KB article.
We ignore it (cause in a test lab - you might want to test and test and test in a live environment).
After the upgrade, the installation wizard will transfer your files, settings and programs to the R2 environment.
Within 2 hours, everything is up and running. It is the easiet upgade we ever had.
Good job MSFT.
