This scenario is NOT supported, but I did it anyway, and so far everything seems to be running just fine. This upgrade was done in test environment and I don't recommend doing this in production, unless you're a TAP customer.
Uninstalling Windows Automated Installation Kit
Before running setup, you need to uninstall the previous RC version of Windows AIK.
| | Click Start, and type Programs and Features, and press Enter. |
| 
| Select Windows Automated Installation Kit, and click Uninstall. |
| 
| Click Yes. |
| 
| Click Allow. |
| 
| Click Yes to restart the server. |
| | Log in as Administrator. |
Installing System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 RC
| 
| Click Configuration Manager 2007 SP2, to start the installation. |
| 
| Click Continue. |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Select I accept these license terms, and click Next. |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Specify the Alternate path, and click Next. The folder must exist and should be empty. |
| 
| Get some coffee. |
| 
| Click OK. |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Click Yes. |
| 
| Click Begin Iinstall. |
| 
| More coffee... |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Click Finish. |
Updating the Boot Images
| 
| Start the console and navigate to Operating System Deployment and Select Boot Images. |
| 
| Right-Click the Boot image (x86), and click Properties. |
| 
| Select the Images tab, and verify that the OS version is 6.1.7600.16385. (Otherwise click Reload). |
| 
| Select the Windows PE tab, and select Enable command support (testing only), if required. Click OK. |
| 
| Click Yes. |
| 
| Click Next. |
| 
| Click Close. |
| | Repeat this step on the Boot Image (x64). |
That's is… You are now running a fully unsupported version of Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 RC… :o)
