Re: Reapplying Service Packs after restore?

Thanks for your quick reply.

That's exactly what I did... Install W2k3 OS from CD1 and stop there.
Installed SP1 and then SP2 and then Restored from backup.

So, I don't need to install SBS SP1 now? Or any of the other SPs for
Exchange or ISA 2004? I'm just curious because ISA seemed like it was running
SP2 so I re-installed ISA SP3... and I'm having other issues (Internet very
slow) which I will post in a new question.

Anyway, just wanting to double check about those Service Packs.

Thanks!

Apply W2K3 SP to the same level as you had when the backup was generated
(SP1 or SP2)
Then restore from the backup.

Hi,

I restored my SBS 2003 Premium Server a few weeks ago to identical
hardware
(controllers, hard drives, etc). I used the backup utility that comes with
my
SBS to backup and restore the server.

Before I restored the server, I had applied Windows 2003 SP1 and the SBS
SP1, Windows 2003 SP2, ISA 2004 SP 3, Exchange SP1 & 2....

So, what I did was install a fresh copy of SBS, installed Windows 2003 SP1
&
SP2 (SBS SP1 would not install) and performed the restored... I used the
same
Admin password as before. The restore succeded and mostly everything seems
to
be working ok but I'm not sure if I need to re-install some of the service
packs. The reason I asked is because I ran the ISA Best Practices Analyzer
and the report showed that I was running ISA 2004 SP 2 even though SP3 was
showing under Add/Remove Programs so I re-installed ISA 2004 SP 3 and now
I
think it shows the correct version.. any way to verify this?

Also, I saw error 1005 from "dsrestor" and when I looked it up I found KB
that made think that this has something to do with Windows Server 2003 SP1
and SBS SP1... so should I install SBS SP1?? It was installed before the
disaster but like I said above, it wouldn't install when I was getting
ready
for the restore process and I haven't tried it since then. I'm not sure if
I
need to reinstall SP1, then SBS SP1 and then SP2... any ideas?

I know this sounds like two different issues but my main question is if I
have to re-apply any of the service packs (Exchange, ISA, SBS)...

Please help! Thanks!
