Win2003 Ent R2 CD2 Service Pack 2 does not intall

[federico]

Hello, I am trying to do an integrated installation of Windows 2003
Enterprice with SP2. I can install fine the operating system using CD1 with
SP2 integrated into it. After a fresh install using this cd the computer
starts with SP2 already intalled. The problem is that when I try to run
CD2, with SP2, I got an error that reads:

"Setup cannot continue because the operating system edition is different
from the Setup edition."

If I use the original CD2, without SP2, I get:

"Setup cannot continue because this product disk is incompatible with the
service pack installed on this computer. To complete the installation of
Windows Server 2003 R2, you will need to insert the laters version of
Windows Server 2003 R2 Disc 2."

To integrate CD2 I used the command suggested by microsoft (adjusting it for
my environment):

WindowsServer2003-KB914961-SP2-XXX-LLL.exe /integraterive:\WS2003\x86\CD2

I need DFS from CD2.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know a solution for
it. I googled the problem to no avail. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

this may mean, that your product key for R2 is belonging to another SKU than
the CD1, which you already used for the OS installation (i.e. Enterprise
Edition installed, and the R2 product key is from Standard Edition). Since
Microsoft doesn't allow this mix, that may be the reason.
