Hello guys,

I'm running 6.5.3 and I'm planning an upgrade to NBU 7 and then later I also 
plan a hardware-refresh (move from Win2k3 to Win2008 R2).

While checking the compatiblity list for NBU 6.X and 7, I noticed that , for a 
master server, only "Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1" is supported (for 
the Win2k3 family).  We are running "Windows 2003 Standard Edition".  I just 
found out this (on this inherited server :(

My question for you guys is:  Should I be concerned about the fact that I'm 
running "Standard" and not the certified "Enterprise" edition before starting 
the upgrade process to NBU 7? So far, NBU 6.5.3 has been runnig almost 
perfectly for the last years. I thought about doing the "Win2k3 Standard" to 
"Enterprise" upgrade but I'm not sure if it's worth it.   Besides, I plan to 
do a hardware-refresh after the upgrade (and switch from Win2k3 to Win20008 
R2).

Thanks,
Jorge
