Exchange 2003 In-place Upgrade

Greetings. I currently have a customer who has a native Windows 2003 AD
domain that has a single Exchange 2003 Std Edition server. This is server is
running Exchange 2003 SP2 and is up-to-date with all the latest Exchange 2003
hotfixes. I have to perform an "in-place" upgrade to Exchange 2003 Enterprise
Edition. I was wondering if anyone has any documentation for this procedure
or perhaps knows of any "gotchas" that I should be aware of, prior to
performing the upgrade.


Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Hi,

the last time I did this, all was working fine. This was as simple as
upgrade Exchange 5.5 standard to Exchange 5.5 enterprise ;-) (aka Next Next
Next Finish). Of course, make a system backup before as usual.

That's what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure someone didn't have some
type of "gotcha". Thx.
