Hi group. Is it possible to install more than 4 GB of RAM and make it usable for a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition? Is it possible to convert a Standard Edition installation into an Enterprise Edition one, without re-installing? Thanks, Yuri |

No you cannot have >4GB on Standard. It will need to have a re-install to turn it into Enterprise. -- Jabez Gan [MVP] Microsoft MVP: Windows Server http://www.blizhosting.com MSBLOG: http://www.msblog.org "Yuri Palagin" <ypal--spam@mail.ru> wrote in message news:%23HP$L8%23pHHA.4364@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Hi group. > > Is it possible to install more than 4 GB of RAM and make it usable for a > Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition? > Is it possible to convert a Standard Edition installation into an > Enterprise Edition one, without re-installing? > > Thanks, > > Yuri > |

Hummm...are you sure? My understanding is that, starting with Windows 2003, MS changed the model and now you can upgrade to Enterprise from Standard without re-installing. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810613/en-us http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/0e70cdff-23da-4805-a647-f39fea0eaaf61033.mspx?mfr=true [...] Notes ..You can also upgrade from Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition to Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition [...] -- Ramon Jimenez MVP Windows Server System - Infrastructure Architect -Con un cuarto de hora de retraso- "Jabez Gan [MVP]" <mingteikg@blizNOSPAMhosting.com> wrote in message news:e$Ihau$pHHA.588@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > No you cannot have >4GB on Standard. > > It will need to have a re-install to turn it into Enterprise. > > -- > Jabez Gan [MVP] > Microsoft MVP: Windows Server > http://www.blizhosting.com > MSBLOG: http://www.msblog.org > > "Yuri Palagin" <ypal--spam@mail.ru> wrote in message > news:%23HP$L8%23pHHA.4364@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> Hi group. >> >> Is it possible to install more than 4 GB of RAM and make it usable for a >> Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition? >> Is it possible to convert a Standard Edition installation into an >> Enterprise Edition one, without re-installing? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Yuri >> > |

Hmm... If it's "Upgrading" then Yes that's possible... But the OP's message was: >> Is it possible to convert a Standard Edition installation into an >> Enterprise Edition one, without re-installing? I would interpret re-installing as Upgrading... Since upgrading process will be transferring files from the Enterprise CD (any newer) to the hard disk... I guess the wording is confusing me (re-installing). :) But you are correct. :-D Thanks for the correction! -- Jabez Gan [MVP] Microsoft MVP: Windows Server http://www.blizhosting.com MSBLOG: http://www.msblog.org "Ramon Jimnez [MVP]" <rjimenezmNOSPAM@NOSPAMhotmail.com> wrote in message news:eKd4IwNqHHA.1148@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hummm...are you sure? > > My understanding is that, starting with Windows 2003, MS changed the model > and now you can upgrade to Enterprise from Standard without re-installing. > > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810613/en-us > http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/0e70cdff-23da-4805-a647-f39fea0eaaf61033.mspx?mfr=true > > [...] > Notes > .You can also upgrade from Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition to > Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition > > [...] > > -- > Ramon Jimenez > MVP Windows Server System - Infrastructure Architect > > -Con un cuarto de hora de retraso- > > > > > "Jabez Gan [MVP]" <mingteikg@blizNOSPAMhosting.com> wrote in message > news:e$Ihau$pHHA.588@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> No you cannot have >4GB on Standard. >> >> It will need to have a re-install to turn it into Enterprise. >> >> -- >> Jabez Gan [MVP] >> Microsoft MVP: Windows Server >> http://www.blizhosting.com >> MSBLOG: http://www.msblog.org >> >> "Yuri Palagin" <ypal--spam@mail.ru> wrote in message >> news:%23HP$L8%23pHHA.4364@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >>> Hi group. >>> >>> Is it possible to install more than 4 GB of RAM and make it usable for a >>> Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition? >>> Is it possible to convert a Standard Edition installation into an >>> Enterprise Edition one, without re-installing? >>> >>> Thanks, >>> >>> Yuri >>> >> > > |

Umm... I was meaning, will I have to re-install the operating system AND all the applications istalled on the server? Or does "Upgrade" mean some roll-on that will make my Stardard server an Enterprise server without re-installing all the applications? My main aim is to put more that 4Gb RAM in that server (and make it visible to Windows - say, 8GB totally) with as little effort and as little offline time as possible. How can I do that, step-by-step?
