Its surprising the SBS is not having problems. The SBS 2003 SP1 should have been applied immediately after Windows 2003 SP1 was installed-in fact step 1 of the full SBS 2003 SP1 install is to install Windows 2003 SP1.

Hi,

I have a question about SBS SP1.

I have a client who has SBS, and is keeping fairly current on application Service Packs (Exchange SP2, Windows SP1, etc). They have not, however, installed SBS SP1. I am wondering if I should install this at this late date? If I follow the SBS instructions I will be going back-level on many of these service packs since SBS SP1 came out a while ago.

I am noticing that the instructions for SBS SP1 have you updating the individual apps separately, then applying SBS SP1 patch. I am inferring from this that SBS patches only include SBS specific functionality and are somewhat independent of app SPs and windows SPs.

So my rambling question is, what to do here? Go back-level on patches, apply SP1, then patch to current? Or can I get away with just applying SBS SP1 now, even though I am up-level on app SPs?

Also, what about windows SP2? I noted the other day that it was in automatic updates, but i am reading on this newsgroup that it is not reccomended for SBS at this time? Is that the consensus?

Sorry for all the questions....

Thanks,
Chris


Yep I know it should have been done, but it wasn't. My question is what to do now.
