I just installed Windows 2003 Enterprise edition x64 w/SP1. The install was
a fresh install on a brand new server and after the install was successful I
installed R2, R2 seemed like it installed OK; however after the install I
don't see any indication that R2 is installed (system properties and
msinfo32 do not show R2). I did notice that all previous Windows Updates had
to be installed after R2, other then that I can't tell if the upgrade was
successful...Any suggestions?

R2 doesn't actually install much that you'd notice when you run the install
disk. What it does do is give you additional Windows Components that you can
then add. So, if you open Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Components, you
should see additional options. Things like FSRM, SUA, NFS, etc. (They're all
mostly below that first, fairly obvious, list, of course.)

My 2003 Standard shows R2 in the System Properties, however, it may be that
you need to reboot before you'll see that.
