Re: Does SBS 2003 SP2 media exist?

I would like to do R2, but I was sent SBS Standard R2 CDs when we're running SBS Premium . . . so I want to forego R2 for now and instead install Windows Server 2003 on a SBS 2003 SPA machine. Is this ok?

You want SBS SP1 in it's entirety (or SBS R2 - which includes that and more), and then Windows Server 2003 SP2. That, plus some MU updates constitites a fully up-to-date SBS.

Is it ok to install WS2003 SP2 on a SBS 2003 server (instead of waiting for SBS SP2)?

SBS 2003 R2 disk set has Windows Server 2003 SP1. Windows Server 2003 SP2 will need to be applied seperately. I don't believe there's an SBS disk set with both SBS R2 *and* WS 2003 SP2.

The lastest copy I have does not.

But I haven't ordered any media lately, so newer ones might.

I have original SBS media (pre sp1), so when using NTBACKUP I'd have

PITA.

1. Does SBS 2003 SP2 media exist?
2. If it did, would a fresh install allow me to go right to
NTBACKUP? (based on docs it seems plausable)

Thanks,

Roveer

If you are doing a whole server recovery, you can skip the SBS SP1
and install Windows SP2. Then do your restore.
