Hi,

We have an off-site webserver running Windows 2003 Web Edition that we
manage through remote desktop. Is it possible to upgrade this to the
Standard Edition over the remote desktop connection?

If so, would there be any effect on the configuration of IIS services?

Hi,

You can't upgrade from Web Edition to Standard - You'll need a clean
install:
