We did not have ANY trouble after applying SP2, in fact we saw noticeable performance gains on our Exchange server after applying SP2. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Abela [mailto:robert@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 7:52 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: SP1 & SP2 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Yes you can install service pack 1 without installing service pack 2. Still before installing it, backup the exchange server cause it is damaged or it goes down you can restore it to it's proper state. -----Original Message----- From: Kelli Irwin [mailto:kirwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 2:39 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] SP1 & SP2 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi All, Being new to Exchange 2000 I have asked several questions here and you'all have responded nicely. Well, I have another. :-) I inherited this site and the Exchange 2000 has had a few "patches" applied but it does NOT have SP1 or SP2 applied. My first question is: Is there any reason why I SHOULDN'T applies these? I have searched around a bit and found people having some problems after applying these... especially SP2. My second question is: Since I am so far behind can I just apply SP2 and skip SP1? Being so new I have been hesitant to apply these for fear of causing Exchange to not work and me not being able to fix it. What precautions should I take before applying?
