Re: Installing SP1

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I would start with a NON-FSMO DC...

If that goes well.... TRANSFER ALL FSMO to the DC with SP1
apply SP1 to SP that hosted the FSMOs
if that goes well TRANSFER THE FSMOs back
Do the other DCs

make sure you have FULL backups
