Re: Applied SBS2003 SP1, what now?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

and as for those which have been 'problematic'? They have been recalled,
rebuilt, and reissued.

I actually wouldn't bother MUing the box. Install/implement WSUS and in the
first config tell it to download Windows Server 2003 and SBS 2003 updates
only. Manually install Exchange 2003 SP2 (including changes to registry for
Store size, if desirable, and IMF updates). Let WSUS download the bits and
use a controlled deployment from WSUS. If SQL is installed, manually install
the SP.

This is a modification of what I do for my own builds (which are mostly test
systems, no new clients for a while) where I install WSUS on the new box and
use my own SBS (both the LoungeAN SBS and new system share a router on the
'external' interface) as parent server to the new system's WSUS. After the
initial sync/download I tell the new system to look to MS for further
updates. (The main thrust of this is to save downloads on my poor
overutilised internet connection).

You guys telling me that in a year and a half there have been no critical
updates that have broken some important feature of SBS2003? Strikes me
as
being very unlikely.

Perhaps I should have phrased it the other way around. Which of the
beaucoup
critical updates from Microsoft for SBS2003 since SP! Should not be
installed?
