System requirements
The following are estimated system requirements for upgrading to Windows Server 2008. If your
computer has less than the minimum requirements, you cannot install Windows Server 2008
correctly. Actual requirements vary based on your system configuration and the applications and
features that you install.
Processor
Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of the processor, but also on the
number of processor cores and the size of the processor cache. The following are the processor
requirements for this product:
Minimum: 1 GHz (for x86 processors) or 1.4 GHz (for x64 processors)
Recommended: 2 GHz or faster
Note
An Intel Itanium 2 processor is required for Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based
Systems.

RAM
The following are the RAM requirements for this product:
Minimum: 512 MB
Recommended: 2 GB or more
Maximum (32-bit systems): 4 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 64 GB (for
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 Datacenter)
Maximum (64-bit systems): 32 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 1 TB (for Windows
Server 2008 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008 Datacenter), or 2 TB (for Windows
Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems)
Disk space requirements
The following are the approximate disk space requirements for the system partition. Itanium-based
and x64-based operating systems vary from these estimates. Additional disk space may be required
if you install the system over a network. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=992854).
Minimum: 15 GB
Recommended: 40 GB or more

Note
Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and
dump files.

Additional requirements
The following hardware is also required:
DVD-ROM drive
Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution monitor
Keyboard and Microsoft mouse (or other compatible pointing device)
Additional disk space requirements for Active Directory domain controllers
If your Active Directory database and log files are placed in any of the following directories, ensure
that the volume has at least twice the space used by the database and that it has log files available
before you install Windows Server 2008:
%SystemRoot%
%ProgramFiles%
%SystemDrive%\Program Files
%ProgramFiles(x86)%
%SystemDrive%\build
%SystemDrive%\InstalledRepository
%ProfilesFolder%
%ProgramData%
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings
For more information, refer to Upgrading Active Directory Domains to Windows Server 2008 AD DS
Domains (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=890325).

Before you start Setup


Before you upgrade to Windows Server 2008, do the following to prepare for the installation:
Test your applications. You must test your line-of-business and non-Microsoft applications
before you upgrade your production servers. For specific instructions on how to test your
applications, see Application Considerations When Upgrading to Windows Server 2008
6
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=110831 ).
Ensure that all x64 kernel-mode software is signed. In the x64 version of Windows
Server 2008, all kernel-mode software (including drivers) that runs on the computer must
have a signature. If your applications use unsigned kernel-mode software (which is common
in many firewall and antivirus programs), the upgrade may be blocked until you uninstall the
application. If an application does not uninstall cleanly, it may continue to block the upgrade.

Back up your servers. Your backup should include all the data and configuration information
that is necessary for the computer to function. It is important to perform a backup of
configuration information for servers, especially those that provide a network infrastructure,
such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. When you perform the backup,
be sure to include the boot and system partitions and the system state data. Another way to
back up configuration information is to create a backup set for Automated System Recovery.
Be aware that you cannot uninstall Windows Server 2008. After the upgrade is
complete, you cannot uninstall Windows Server 2008. However, if Setup fails during the
upgrade, you can roll back to your previous operating system.
Ensure that your applications are compatible. In the Setup Wizard, after you have
selected the Upgrade option, you are presented with a dialog box that includes a link to
application compatibility information. Be sure to follow the link and review the information
about your installed applications before you proceed with the upgrade.
In addition, review the manufacturers Web site for your installed applications to:
Determine if the application is supported throughout the upgrade process to Windows
Server 2008.
Verify that the manufacturer supports the application on Windows Server 2008.
Review the known issues. For information about specific upgrade issues, read Known
Issues When Upgrading to Windows Server 2008 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
LinkId=1108303).

You cannot migrate the Application Server role from Windows Server 2003 to
Windows Server 2008. It was rebuilt for Windows Server 2008, and it includes
default support for applications that are built with .NET Framework 3.0
components, such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows
Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
Application Server offers optional role services that activate features in Windows
Server 2008 (such as Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) support for non
-HTTP protocols, TCP Port Sharing, and support for IIS 7.0). If you upgrade your
server to Windows Server 2008 from Windows Server 2003 or an earlier
operating system, and you want to use the capabilities of the Application Server
role, you must reinstall the Application Server role by using the Add Roles Wizard
in Server Manager. If you configure Windows Server 2008 with the correct
application services by using the Add Roles Wizard, your applications will work

When you upgrade a fax server from Windows Server 2003 to Windows
Server 2008, the Fax Server role is automatically installed in the upgrade.
However, only certain settings are maintained during the upgrade:
You must reconfigure Fax Sharing.
Fax Server

Any settings on the Security tab in the Properties dialog box of Fax
Service Manager revert to the default settings.
Fax user accounts (Fax Users and Fax Routing Assistants) are features in
Windows Server 2008, and they are not created when you upgrade. You
must create them manually.

The Wbadmin command replaces the Ntbackup command that was released with
previous versions of Windows. You cannot recover backups that you created with
Ntbackup by using Wbadmin.

File Services

A version of Ntbackup is available as a download for Windows Server 2008 and


Windows Vista users who want to recover backups that they created using
Ntbackup. This version of Ntbackup enables you to perform recoveries of legacy
backups only, and it cannot be used on computers running Windows Server 2008
or Windows Vista to create new backups.
To download this version of Ntbackup, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?

Terminal Services

Upgrading a Windows Server 2003-based terminal


server
There are no known issues with performing an upgrade of a Windows Server 2003 terminal server
to the Windows Server 2008 operating system. All settings and configurations are maintained
during the upgrade.
However, a terminal server running Windows Server 2008 can only communicate with a Terminal
Services license server running Windows Server 2008, and the license server must have Windows
Server 2008 Terminal Services client access licenses (TS CALs) installed.

Upgrading a Windows Server 2003-based Terminal


Services license server
There are no known issues with performing an upgrade of a Windows Server 2003 Terminal
Services license server to the Windows Server 2008 operating system. All settings and
configurations are maintained during the upgrade. After performing the upgrade, you need to
activate the license server with the Microsoft Clearinghouse.
For more information about activating a license server running Windows Server 2008, see Activate
a Terminal Services license server in the TS Licensing Manager Help in the Windows Server 2008
Technical Library (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=10164024).
A license server running Windows Server 2008 that has the appropriate Terminal Services client
access licenses (TS CALs) installed can support terminal servers that run the following operating
systems:

Windows Server 2003 R2
Windows Server 2003
Windows 2000
Note that a terminal server running Windows Server 2008 can only communicate with a license
server running Windows Server 2008.
Note
If you have made a backup of the TS Licensing database on the Windows Server 2003 license
server, you should not attempt to restore that backup onto the license server after it has been
upgraded to Windows Server 2008. If you attempt to restore it, any unissued TS CALs in the TS
Licensing database are not restored, and you must call the Microsoft Clearinghouse to restore
those unissued TS CALs. After you upgrade the license server to Windows Server 2008, you
should make a new backup of the TS Licensing database.

Upgrading a Windows Server 2003-based Terminal


Services Session Directory server
If you upgrade a Windows Server 2003-based server that is running the Terminal Services Session
Directory service to Windows Server 2008, the Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session
Broker) role service is automatically installed.
Note
In Windows Server 2008, the name of the Terminal Services Session Directory feature is
changed to TS Session Broker.

When you upgrade the server, the Terminal Services Session Directory database is not preserved.
However, if the server name remains the same, the terminal servers that are configured to use that
Terminal Services Session Directory server will rejoin the farm in TS Session Broker, and the
database automatically rebuilds.
When you perform the upgrade, we recommend that no users access the terminal server farm until
all terminal servers have rejoined the farm in TS Session Broker. If you do not wait for the
database to rebuild, users may not be able to reconnect to existing sessions.
Although the rebuild process occurs automatically, you can force the terminal servers to rejoin the
farm by reapplying TS Session settings in TS Session Broker (or apply Terminal Services Session
Directory settings if the terminal servers are running Windows Server 2003). You can do this by
using Terminal Services Configuration on each terminal server in the farm, by using Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI), or by reapplying Group Policy settings.

Page 11 of 16

If you are running the Terminal Services Session Directory service on a server cluster, we
recommend that you remove the Terminal Services Session Directory service resource from the
cluster before you perform a server upgrade.

Upgrade limitations
Note the following limitations when you are upgrading to Windows Server 2008:
You must have a Windows Server 2003 operating system with Service Pack 1 or a Windows
Server 2003 operating system with Service Pack 2 installed to upgrade to Windows
Server 2008.
You cannot upgrade to a version of the operating system that has fewer features than the
operating system you are currently running. For example, you can only upgrade
Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition to Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition.
The Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems operating systems and Windows
Server 2003 Web Edition operating systems cannot be upgraded. If you have these editions,
you must perform a clean install and migrate the data from these computers to the new
operating system.
Upgrading is supported from x86-based and x64-based computers, but cross-architecture
upgrades are not supported. For example, you cannot upgrade from an x86-based computer
to an x64-based computer, even if the server you are upgrading is x64-capable.
Cross-language upgrades are not supported.
You cannot upgrade the failover clusters from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008.
Before upgrading, you must uninstall failover clustering. For more information, refer to article
935197 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=11094625).
Upgrading from Windows Server 2003 to a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 is
not supported.

The support provided is in accordance with your organizations technical support agreement and
Microsofts technical support policies.
Windows delivered software is defined as any software or software component, role, or function
that ships with Windows Server or is delivered to Windows Server through Windows Update. This
includes Microsoft utilities and applications.
Note
There may be scenarios in which a Windows Server component, role, or function does not
support an upgrade. The Compatibility Report will list these scenarios during the Windows
Server 2008 Setup.

If you experience issues while upgrading to Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Customer Service and
Support (CSS) will assist customers in restoring their upgraded Windows Server 2003 environment
to a supported state, even if non-Windows software may be contributing to the issue.
If a backup of the operating system is available, CSS will follow disaster recovery processes
to assist you in restoring your server environment to a pre-upgrade status. There is no
guarantee that any data can be recovered.
If a backup is unavailable, CSS will assist you in recovering to a supported state as quickly as
possible. For example, CSS will assist in reinstalling Windows Server 2003 and in upgrading
to Windows Server 2008.
During the recovery process, Microsoft will engage independent software vendors (ISVs),
independent hardware vendors (IHVs), and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) at its
discretion to assist in the effort to preserve application or operating system data.
