I need to upgrade a server with Windows Server 2003 standard to Windows
Server 2003 Enterprise. I have searched extensively for the "how to" on this
subject. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

A format and reinstall using the proper CD is required.

AFAIK there is no "upgrade" between any two versions of Win 2k, unlike XP
where you can upgrade the home version to the professional version.

2K3 Standard to Enterprise is a supported upgrade. 2K Server to
Advanced was not. The only other 2K3 SKU you can upgrade is SBS to
Standard.

My mistake,
For what ever reason I thought he was talking about Win 2k.

Sam;
Normally insert the CD at the Desktop and follow the prompts to upgrade from
Standard to Enterprise.

Standard to Enterprise is a supported upgrade path:
