    Hi!
    According to Wikipedia, Service Pack 2 for Windows 2003 Server is said to be a "service pack release containing previously-released security updates, hotfixes, and reliability and performance improvements". However, R2 contains quite a lot of new features - therefore, I'd think it would say something like "Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 2" if it were R2. It even came on it's own CD, while no mentioning of downloadability is to be found on Wikipedia.

    However, It's just an assumption, I don't have it myself and couldn't find anything that was absolutely clear about this issue.

        Hi

        I have installed Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 but R2 is not shown in
        My Computers->properties. It just shows Microsoft Windows Server 2003
        Standard Edition
        Service Pack 2

        Please let me know how to get it completely installed so that i get Windows Server 2003 R2

        I have installed it from a DVD.

          If that DVD is a Windows Server 2003 SP2 R2 DVD, then it's already installed. If it isn't, check this site. For more information Microsoft is probably the best source.
