The RTM version of Server 2008 R2 is available for download on TechNet. Make sure you go to the "Top Downloads" section and use the Akamai plug-in to download the iso and not File Transfer Manager. :)
 
Horray for R2. I will be evaluating it to see how it goes. Thanks for posting this - I was hoping someone would've noticed this as I just saw it tonight.
 
Upgrading from Server 2008 (not R2)

Active Directory on this domain controller does not contain Windows Server 2008 R2 ADPREP /FORESTPREP updates. See Prepare a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Forest Schema for a Domain Controller That Runs Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

You may want to prepare for this if upgrading... see about executing the commands off the DVD first:

Code:
[FONT=Courier New]D:\support\adprep\adprep /forestprep[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]D:\support\adprep\adprep /domainprep[/FONT]


This will successfully prepare a Windows Server 2008 upgrade for Windows Server 2008 R2 by updating the forest and domain schema on a PDC/GCS (Primary Domain Controller / Global Catalog Server)
