2.4. Installing the R2 Components

For the first time in the history of Windows on the server, Microsoft is shipping additional, optional components on a second CD inside the actual Windows Server 2003 R2 product box. Most of these components are enabled for future installation by running a separate Setup process, which you can launch directly from the desktop after you finish the base install of Windows Server 2003 SP1 from the first disc (Setup places a shortcut on the desktop for you for easy access). You use the same product key for both the initial installation of Windows Server 2003 and the R2 components . It's a very simple Setup program that copies some libraries and descriptive files to your computer, and it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

By running that Setup process, you populate the existing Windows Components dialog within Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel with more options that correspond to the R2 components. You can choose single components to install at any time. Most of the R2 components reside as subcomponents of the larger feature categories within the Windows Components screenfor example, the Print Management Console is located within the Management and Monitoring Tools category. Other components, such as Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, are located within the first set of categories.

Table 2-3 shows the relative locations of all R2 components with the Windows Components section of Add/Remove Programs.

Note that it's Microsoft's recommendation that you use the two product CDs that are bundled with the R2 product and not a separate copy of Windows Server 2003 in conjunction with the second R2 component CD. This can avoid problems with product keys and product activation.
