>>>Gregory, thank you for the links. I will read them later but if I could ask a quick question, please. Did you install the SQL Server 2008 R2 as one product or installed R2 on top of the previously installed SQL Server 2008 (without R2)?

>Gregory, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. I purchased SQL Server 2008 and even though the person at Microsoft Store who took the order assured me that he was going to send me R2 version, I got the SQL Server 2008 Developer (not R2). My question, you said you installed it, did you download the SQL 2008 R2 version or purchased it? I am trying to decide if I should send this copy back and order another one or can download an update to R2 version.


Dmitry,

I downloaded it from msdn (subscriber)
