Guest Daniel Brower Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Which service pack should I use for small business server premium? There is a service pack for that specifically, and there is a service pack for windows server 2003. What problems could I run into if I use the wrong service pack? Daniel

Guest Merv Porter [SBS-MVP] Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Re: sbs premium service pack Hi Daniel, + SBS 2003 SP1 is not a single download/install (it has 5 parts to it): Windows Server 2003 SP1 Exchange Server 2003 SP1 (you can substitute Exchange 2003 SP2) Windows SharePoint Services SP1 (you can later upgrade to WSS 2.0 SP3) Windows Small Business Server 2003 Update KB891193 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP1 How to install Service Pack 1 for SBS 2003 http://www.smallbizserver.net/Articles/tabid/266/articleType/ArticleView/ArticleID/68/PageID/70/Default.aspx + Windows 2003 SP2 is an operating system upgrade only and generally is applied to SBS 2003 once all of SBS 2003 SP1 has been installed. Windows 2003 SP2 does have some issues on SBS 2003: Common Networking Issues After Applying Windows Server 2003 SP2 on SBS http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2007/04/24/common-networking-issues-after-applying-windows-server-2003-sp2-on-sbs.aspx + If you have SBS 2003 Premium CDs (original RTM, not SP1), order SBS 2003 SP1 CD3 now as this will get you a free upgrade to ISA 2004. This offer runs out in about 6 weeks (Dec 31, 2007).

Guest Daniel Brower Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Re: sbs premium service pack That is part of the question I am asking. I would like to use the latest service pack. I believe the latest service pack for small business server premium edition is sp1, and the latest service pack for windows server 2003 is sp2.

Guest Jeffrey B. Kane [SBS MVP] Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Re: sbs premium service pack You need both. Windows Server 2003 is just a component of SBS. There are other components that need updating as well. To add a bit to what Merv wrote, if you don't already have Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SBS SP1 installed, you need to follow the full update (Standard has 5 parts, Premium has 7 parts). Windows Server 2003 SP1 Exchange Server 2003 SP1 Windows SharePoint Services SP1 Windows Small Business Server 2003 Update KB891193 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP1 ISA 2004 SP1 (Premium Edition Only) SQL 2000 SP1 (Premium Edition Only) You CAN substitute Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2003 SP2 for the SP1's of those components because they are cumulative updates, but you still need to install ALL of them according to the documented procedure in order to have your server fully updated.
