Hi Owen
The reason I do WU first is that IF you are connected to the Internet you
are exposed too long without doing critical updates. If you apply SP1 from
CD Media then it is OK to do that first as long as you are not connected to
Internet during the process. Some people Order the Media but do the SP1 from
download first and that is why I advocated the safety approach. You are
correct that your approach is faster but the Internet should not be
connected during yur approach.

With a great deal of respect to Frank, who has been working with SBS a
lot longer than I have, I have to disagree about using Windows Update
before applying SP1.
When I have installed from non-SP1 media, I have done just the
opposite: Complete the upgrade to SP1 (which is between 5 and 7
separate updates, depending on which SBS components you are running)
THEN run the CEICW and use Windows Update. REASON: WU will find and
download a LOT of updates which are already included on your SP1 CDs.
By applying SP1 first, you should save quite a bit of time (and
Internet bandwidth).

I have recently installed SBS 2003 Premium and have some basic questions
regarding service packs/updates and firewall/router configs. I have done
some searching through Google and on these discussion groups, but have not
had luck finding relevant answers to these questions:
So far I have successfully installed SBS 2003 without including the last
CD
(Premium apps ISA 2000 and SQL 2000). My first concern is the order which
I
should install upgrades/service packs. I haven't even run Windows update
yet
on my SBS 2003 fresh install. Should I run windows update first, then
install SP1 (including ISA 2004), or should I install ISA 2000 first, then
SP1 (including ISA 2004), then run Win update? Does it even matter?
As for the firewall/network config, I found articles on setting up using a
router, two nics, static IP, etc. which are very good. However, they
didn't
mention using three nics for establishing a DMZ. I would like to set up a
secure ftp server and web server. Do I need a three nic setup, or is two
nics OK with a SOHO router and a static IP? Also, we currently have
employees connecting to their machines using pcAnywhere which requires us
to
open ports on the SOHO router, would this model still apply, or is there a
better method to have multiple home users connect to their office
machines?
VPN maybe?
Thanks in advance for help with these fundamentals.
