Re: Just inherited an SBS 2k3 server that I cannot get to update.

You can't even get that on there?

Is this truly a SBS with Exchange and the whole shebang?
The integrated install/wizard were run?

This sounds like it hasn't been moved past the base OS?

I am trying to apply windows update to a new (to me) SBS 2k3 server and they keep failing.

For instance when I try to apply KB842773 I get a message saying the update failed and the following log.

[KB842773.log]

System properties shows the OS as Microsoft Windows Server 203 for Small usiness Server.

Any help appreciated
