Guest Bryan Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Hi, I'm having issues trying to uninstall SP2 on my SBS 2003 box. Reason why I'm trying to uninstall is because ever since I installed SP2, my companyweb is no longer viewable using RWW. At first, I thought something was wrong with the companyweb. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling with no luck getting it back on line. Then I found a post saying that SP2 has had some issues with companyweb and RWW. The person uninstalled SP2 and bingo, he was able to access companyweb via RWW. When I try and uninstall SP2 it hangs up in the "restoring catalogs" then I get an error message. "The system cannot find the file specified" - "The service pack 2 was not uninstalled". Here is the event log Event Type: Error Event Source: NtServicePack Event Category: None Event ID: 4375 Date: 4/1/2008 Time: 9:17:54 AM User: server1\administrator Computer: server1 Description: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 uninstall failed. The system cannot find the file specified. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Please, any help on this matther would be great. I really need to get companyweb up and running again via RWW. Heck, for that matter just up and running. Thanks for your help, Bryan

Guest Bryan Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Re: NEED HELP uninstalling SP2 on SBS 2003 I'd rather just uninstall SP2 if at all possiable. Any solutions?

Guest Saral6978 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Re: NEED HELP uninstalling SP2 on SBS 2003 I think you could cause more issues trying to uninstall it, but that's just my opinion. I'd agree and say that fixing the SP2 issue would be the best choice. Have you re-run the CEICW wizard after the SP2 install? > I'd rather just uninstall SP2 if at all possiable.
