You have a server named Data1 that runs a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 Standard.
You need to configure Data1 to run a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 Enterprise.
You want to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you perform?
A.
a clean installation of Windows Server 2012
B.
an offline servicing by using Dism
C.
an online servicing by using Dism
D.
an upgrade installation of Windows Server 2012
*Windows Upgrade using DISM command:
Standard to DataCenter or Enterprise
Datacenter to Enterprise
DISM /Online /Get-CurrentEdition:
shows current installed os edition
DISM /Online /Get-TargetEditions:
shows possible upgrade editions
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerEnterprise /ProductKey:489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3Y:
Upgrade from standard to ent.
there is 4 Edition :
Datacenter,Standard,Essential,foundation
There is no way to upgrade from standard to enterprise (see link). It can only upgrade to standard r2 or datacenter r2. A clean installation might be the answer, but it says “minimum administrative effort”. So, han is right. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825157.aspx)
Answer is C
It should be A.
There is no way to upgrade from Standard R2 to Enterprise.
DISM /Online /Get-TargetEditions will only show “ServerDataCenter”.
Johnny is absolutely right. Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Enterprise.

The answer is A.
but Windows 2012 R2 Entreprise does not exists. How i can do a new installation for it ?
there are 4 edition : Standard, Datacenter, foundation, Essnetiel
May be the answer is C
There is no Windows Server 2012 Enterprise. I have no idea about the answer.
I don’t get it too.. people here saying about update to server 2012 Enterprise.. There is no 2012 Enterprise, only 2012 Datacenter. Windows Server 2008 has a Enterprise version. This question is wrong.
The question should be Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
Steps Open a command window as Administrator.
Run the following command:
dism /online /set-edition:ServerStandard /geteula:eula path (where eula path represents the location to which you want to save the EULA file; for example: C:\ws8std_eula.rtf). Be sure to use .rtf as the file name extension.
Open the location where you saved the file, and then double-click the file to open it.
Another version of this question states “You have a server named Data1 that runs a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
You need to configure Data1 to run a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
What should you perform?
