Talk to your vendor first!

What was suggested in those posts as to why not to upgrade to SP2? I'm
not aware of any good reason that you shouldn't do so personally...

Hi,

My first post here, i've done a quick search but am interested to hear
your
opinion on the issue of upgrading a windows 2003 server, exchange 2003
SP1,
back-end cluster to Windows 2003 SP2 Server.

Testing has gone ok, on a cut down replica of the live system...however,
i
didnt go to SP1 a while back because of an OWA connectivity issue (now
seemingly addressed by hotfix 841561).

I've seen a few blogs that suggest that maybe an admin should think twice
before upgrading to SP2 on a clustered exchange back-end. What are your
thoughts/experiences?

Shortly after i'll be upgrading to ExchangeSP2 as well.

Many thanks
