Server 2008 upgrade to R2 - PART 2

Following the successful upgrade of my VM Domain Controller I decided to go "all-in" and upgrade my physical host.

First attempt stopped at the compatibility test and directed me to shut down all my virtual machines, and referred me to this site: Description of methods to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 from Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V

I chose Method 1, and shut down my VM's & tried again.... ignoring the other warning message that showed up in the compatibility report on this system, and the previous one I upgraded.... this warning tells you to make sure that any software that you have installed on your server is compatible with R2... probbly fairly important to do this in a production environment, but as this is my Lab server I am prepared to see what breaks.

But if you feel so inclined, you can follow the Upgrading to Windows Server 2008 guide and search the Windows Server Catalogue.

So... my upgrade went fine, but I have noticed a couple of broken things so far:

1. Virtual Clone Drive: stopped working.... a simple re-install got it working again.
2. Microsoft Network Monitor 3.3: it runs, but does not list any network adapters - I suspect a re-install will fix this too.... but will wait until I am at the local console for fear of loosing network connectivity :)

Other software installed... Self Test Software .. worked fine after upgrading.
