hi guys

anything i need to be on the watch for when upgrading my DC from server 2008 to server 2008 r2?

forgot to say my dc's are 32bit,

so i think i have to do the following
create a new dc with 2008 r2 installed
transfer the roles from the old 2008 server to the new server 2008r2,
rebuild the old server to server 2008r2
then move the roles back if i need to

sound about right?

Yep - unfortunately, you cannot upgrade 32bit to 64bit

yep thats sounds OK.. get a good backup and check if your hardware support 2008 r2... then you'll do fine
