I am trying to upgrade my sql from 2008 to 2008R2. I have run the setup, selected upgrade from sql 2000, 2005 or 2008 and followed the install. My managment tools have been upgraded and show version 10.50.1617 but my sql server still shows version 10.0.5500. How do i update my server version?
Thanks in advance.
When you did your upgrade did you select the necessary instance(s) that you in fact did want to upgrade? Or did you just select management tools?
How do you know your instance is the older version? Did you do a
select @@version?Edit:
When you upgraded SQL Server, you selected just the
MSSQLSERVERinstance to upgrade. This is the default instance, and as you say in your comments you are connecting to a named instance. What you need to do is during the upgrade process select the appropriate named instance(s) that you want to upgrade.
