Schema Extension - SP2 to R2?

[bdurocher]

Just a little confused here and looking for some help.

All Our DCs are 2003 Standard SP2 (we ever went to R2).

I want to extend the schema to take advantage of printer distribution via GPO and the new Wired/Wireless Vista GPO features.

My question: Can I just extend the schema using the R2 CD2 even though we have no R2 DCs? or do I need to first bring one of our 2003SP2 DCs up to R2 and then extentd the Schema? and If I have to go to R2, can I update SP2 to R2? or does SP2 need to come off first?

Thanks for any help.

Actually, as I think through this, I believe I need to extend the Schema even before attempting to move any DC to R2...so that probably answers my questions...

I can extend the schema in our AD structure as is with our DCs at 2003 Std SP2.

That's what I get for trying to figure this out too late at night.

Thanks for listening to me talk to myself ... Of course, if I'm still wrong, feel free to set me straight.
