There is a schema update that needs to be applied, but there is no new functional level.

Yet when I go to any of the Win2k3 DCs, they report they're already at the highest level. Bummer.

It is a non-event. The upgrade reminds me of a 'Feature Pack' like they had for windows 98. Some good stuff if you need it, and we certainly did for our file servers...but no big deal to do the upgrade.

I gather there's a "higher" level with the R2 release? Thanks.
