Re: Does SBS 2003 SP2 media exist?



Hi Brandon:

Not sure I understand the question. If you have the wrong media, get the
correct one. If your asking if it is ok to install Windows Server SP2 on an
SBS 2003 SP1 with all the related bits, the answer is yes, if you do the
follow ups to cure the known issues that happen with SP2 on SBS 2003. R2 is
separate stuff and has nothing to do with Windows service packs.

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?

(there is no SBS2003 SP2)

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.

(there is no SBS2003 SP2)

The lastest copy I have does not.

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

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.
