Re: Installation order

Hi Vince,

Finish the SBS installation completely first. At the end, you're presented with the ToDo List, one of the items is Connect to the Internet Wizard. Once that's complete, go to WU and update the box.

Please resolve a point of contension on our technical bench.
My office performs OEM installations of SBS 2003 on new Intel Servers.

All of the techs start off with disk 1 of the SBS installation for the initial 2003 Server OS installation.

After the operating system is installed is where there are differences.

Some believe that the operating system updates from Microsoft should be installed prior to allowing the rest of the SBS components and wizards to install.

Others believe that the SBS components and wizards should be installed completely from the installation CD's prior to any updates from Microsoft.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Vince Auletta
