then you would need tp install AT LEAST SP1 on top of the existing W2K3 (if
it is not already installed) and after that integrate the R2 binaries by
running the SETUP.EXE from the second disk.

If it is a DC or you want to use stuff DFS-R, UnixIdM, or other AD related
features you must extend the AD schema first by using ADPREP from the 2nd
disk of the R2 distribution set

almost forgot....

if you want to install SP2 that is OK, you then you must also install the
SP2 equivalent of R2
