Matthew. Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 I'm in the test, it's on betaplace, but I didn't get the welcome email?:huh:: 585078863[/snapback] from newsgroup Hi Everyone,A few grey hairs and lots of caffeine later, "R2" is a GO! Welcome eMails are on their way and should arrive within the next two hours or so. Please note that if you completed the survey for "Additional Product Keys" prior to today, you will not receive an additional key as there was some confusion regarding this. The welcome email will include one key good for 10 machines. If you need X 64 or additional X86 keys, please complete/recomplete the survey. Also, there will be new NGs added today, so please ensure you keep checking for new NGs. Thanks for all your patience and let's see some bugs and suggestions!

Jason Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) are disk1 and disk2 both required? or is disc2 an updated disk1? 585079158[/snapback] Disk 2 features all the out of band extra's and these are all needed as they are partly what your beta testing not things like DX9 or WMP10 etc Edited December 10, 2004 by Jason Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/255545-windows-2003-r2/#findComment-585079217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Go to modify info, it'll let you change there. The first Disc is the latest RC Sp1 intergrated with WinSrv 03. Instead, use your own non-eval copy of WinSrv 03 and download http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en latest Sp1 for 03 and then download the small R2 package and you are all set to go!

Jason Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 In a note to beta testers Microsoft advises that testers should not install R2 on a later pre-release of Windows Server 2003 SP1. The R2 Beta 1 (build 1711) will only work on SP1 build 1289 (RC1).

Mx Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yup Larney, I personally don't want to use their intergrated version, only because they include eval one :(. I legally own Windows Server 03 via my MSDN account, so only worth using that.

allenw Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Wondering why you havent recieved your welcome email? Just got an email back when I asked why I had not received it.. From the beta team Yes, unfortunately the welcome emails have not yet gone out as we areinvestigating some server issues (which I'm sure you've been experiencing).
