Hi Everyone,

My MVLS guy just shipped me a disc that has R2 on it, BUT it looks like full product install so they must have R2 slipstreamed into it.

On the eval download of R2 it was just an install of R2 and not full install like I'm seeing on this disc from my MVLS guy.

I put the DVD in on my current SCCM SP1 server and it says "Setup has detected an existing primary site on this computer". Offers me the chance to "Upgrade an existing Configuration Manager or SMS 2003 installation"

Before I click the NEXT button I just wanted to be sure I am following the right install path.......since all the previous R2 docs I read stated it would be an add-on, and again since the eval download looks like just R2, but the MVLS copy is the complete install with R2 slipstreamed in apparently.

Thx,
Jon

There is a 2nd, 22MB, ISO on the MVLS site that looks like it is just the update.

Along the same vein...

I installed SCCM 2007 SP1 (Eval) and installer R2 (eval) on top of that.

Now I have downloaded both the SCCM 2007 SP1 and the R2 isos from MVLS. Everywhere says that you can upgrade from EVAL to Full License by entering in a product key, but I don't see any product keys for SCCM out in MVLS. Anyway, when I put in the 2007 SP1 CD and do an upgrade, the key is already filled in and greyed out when running an installation "upgrade".

Is there really a product key that needs to be entered for SCCM 2007 SP1 when installing it from VL disks? When do you put it in? Do I also have to reinstall R2 full license or will upgrading the base SP1 from Eval to Full License bring R2 up to full license as well?

After running an upgrade install from the 2007 SP1 volume license disk, I think I am done. I think that R2 did just move to the full license as well.
How can I check to see if everythign is at the license level it should be? When I do Properties of my primary site, it says version 4.00.6221.1000 and R2 Installed says: Yes and evaluation version is not mentioned anywhere. Am I done?
