We have Exchange 2003 Ent. on Windows 2003 Standard, want to upgrade the OS
to Win 2003 Enterprise. Can the upgrade be done without affecting Exchange?

I'm inclinde to say you should be ok. What's your reasoning for doing this?

Personally, I would back the box up, wipe the system partition, reload, adn
just do an Exchange DR. Much cleaner.

Something to do with our SAN drive vendor and Volume Shadow Copy. They
require Windows 2003 Enterprise for it to be fully functional.
