Thanks! I guess as long as everything is working I'm not going to worry
about it. Besides if I missed something somehow in Windows Server SP1 I'll
pick it up when I go to SP2. :)

I've never know a Service Pack to blow up if installed again, so that might
be an option. Personally I think you are good to go.

That is what the server reports back when I type that as well... I'm
assuming that the installation was successful, just strange that I never
got
that final screen on the installation of the Windows 2003 Service Pack.

Ok, tonight I finally decided to upgrade our SBS2003 Server to SP1.
However,
when I did the first upgrade the strangest thing happened. I popped in
the
disk, clicked to install Windows Server 2003 SP1 it seemed to be
installing
correctly and I sat there and watched it until it said that it was
doing
post
install processes (I think it said something about cleaning up?) then I
walked away for a few min... When I came back it was back on the
SBS2003
setup disk screen for disk 1 (the one where it give you the option to
install
Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Sharepoint Services SP1 etc.). I never got
the
"installation successful" screen that asks you to reboot??? I checked
the
log file and there were no errors? So after waiting for awhile I
rebooted
and installed the rest of the updates (Exchange SP2, SBS2003 SP1) and
had
no
errors. The server is working fine. I'm just a little concerned that
the
Windows Server 2003 SP1 didn't complete?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
