    Morning all,

    I've taken over looking after a sharepoint server that has only ever been a proof of concept, so has never really been setup properly.

    One of the issues i have is both foundation and enterprise versions are installed.

    Maybe this isnt a problem and is completely normal - im not sure.

    Im also unsure as to which version i should upgrade to SP1.  The version at the moment is RTM.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    This isn't actually a problem.  Installing server over Foundation will effectively just add services to the installation.  The guidance on updates varies from time to time.  It won't hurt anything to apply the foundation SP1 update first and then the server update.  However, there is some talk that says you can just skip the SPF update and just do the server update.
