SCCM 2007 sp2 upgrade to r3

[paddy]

Hi there,

 

I am wondering how do I go about upgrading to SCCM 2007 r3. I am looking to get use of the powermanagement features.

When I right click site settings:

Version: 4.00.6487.200

R2 Installed: NO

Build Number: 6487

 

The fact I dont have r2 installed can I upgrade to R3.

 

Any help would be most greatful

Yes,when you try to install the Hotfix,it ask to create a package which will be distruted to all the clients to track or power management features.

 

This hotfix is required for the following computers that are running System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2):

• Primary and secondary site servers
• Remote administrator console servers
• Remote provider servers
• Client computers

Yes,there is. You can only install eval version of R2/R3 on eval versions of the product.R2 and R3 are not free; they require software assurance or a new pruchase of the product.
