I have SQL2005 installed on Windows 2003 standard R2. We are thinking about
in-place upgrading the server from standard to Enterprise. If we do so, will
SQL data preserved or such in-place upgrade is not suggested? Thanks for the
advise.

In-place upgrade is really not recommended - whether it's Windows or SQL
Server. Data should be in-place but then, again, I wouldn't count on that.
I'd rather backup every database just in case.
