Re: SP1 finished successfully... or did it?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



After clearing temp files, all the logs, and rebooting I started the SP1
setup again. This is what happens:
1 Installing files
Details - Installing Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1
2 A popup comes up saying maybe a 1/4 through the copy process "Windows
small business server service pack 1 setup has encountered an error"
It asks if I want to view the error log now so I click yes
3 The sp1 wizard now says "finishing installation"
Details - performing cleanup
4 You have successfully completed the KB885918 setup wizard

Also, whenever I reboot since SP1 has first failed I get "setup.exe
encoutnered a problem and needed to close" after I log in. I may get a few
of these messages, depending on how many times I ran SP1 before the reboot.

Jerry,

Q1 From your description, I understand that you can mount the exchange
database and your issue now is that you cannot install the SBS SP1. If I'm
off base, please let me know.
A1 Yep, thats basically my scenario.

Q2 First of all, I would like to confirm that you have installed the window
server 2003 SP1, sharepoint SP1 and exchange SP1 without any problem.
A2 Here are the steps I followed so far:
1 Windows 2003 Service Pack 1.
2 Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Service Pack 1.
3 Windows Small Business Server 2003 Update KB891193 for Windows XP Service
Pack 2.
4 Exchange Service Pack 1.

Here is what I find in the event viewer:

The dell fix doesn't seem to apply to me since I get an error "during" the
install, not after. besides... I don't get a stop error #

As for the setup log files... check your email


Frank,

Q1 Did you do a fresh install from CD1 boot or a Dell Server Boot CD
Assistant start?
A1 I performed the fresh install from SBS CD1. At first I used ran the Dell
CD but I didn't put in the SBS CD when it asked. I just shut the server
down, and when I was ready to install I began the SBS setup right from SBS
CD1.

You mentioned "it is important in Swings that the OS be at the same SP level
during the migration portion from Production to Temp DC to final box but I am
uncertain about
that point at all phases. "

I skimmed through the swing it kit again and can't seem to find any
references to when the final server should be updated. Basically, the only
thing I did between running the SBS, sql and isa setup and installing the
service packs, was forklifting my exchange store, and running a few items on
the to do list in attempt to get SP1 to not fail on me again.
