Re: how to determine which service packs installed

Mark,

As Costas mentioned.. take a look at the following (should be due to the same reason)

I downloaded it but it fails to install on the server. It generates the following message: "Failed to install catalog files." I checked, and apparently we don't have our server upgraded to SP1 (which I assume is why the BPA tool fails to install). Also, Exchange shows the version as 6.5.7226.0 with no SP's listed. Is it safe to go ahead and update both the server and exchange?

Is there any specific order in which SP2 for Server 2003 and SP2 for Exchange should be installed, or any other patches, etc. which should be done before these upgrades.

Mark,

Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Help | About Windows'. You should see there if WinSrv2k3 SP2 is installed. Then under Advanced Management select Exchange | Servers. On the right panel, under 'Server Version' it should see the version number and the SP installed

We have an SBS 2003 box, and I would like to upgrade Exchange 2003 to SP2, as well as install SP2 for Server 2003. How can I check which service pack versions are already installed, and also, what is the best way for going about this upgrade before I get in over my head. We do make full tape backups every night, including Exchange.
