Cool, currently in the midst of downloading SP1. The manual I'm using is titled 'The Complete Reference' Exchange 2000 Server published by Osburne. OK for someone on an intermediate level, but no good to a novice like myself. Really could use something dealing more with detailed procedures as I'm trying to document the steps to: 1. perform a complete install 2. configure the necessary services, either POP or exchange??? 3. Assign the proper permissions yaddah yaddah yaddah... In other words I'm a fresh new exchange puppy looking for my legs to stand on. -----Original Message----- From: Alfonso Lopez de Ayala [mailto:alopezdeayala@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 11:17 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Newbie Exchange Install...Newbie http://www.MSExchange.org/ Do install SP2... no reason not to in a clean AD domain.... it does fix a bunch of things you may not want to troubleshoot individually later... only problem you may have with SP2 is really if you need to uninstall/reinstall. What manual are you talking about? -----Original Message----- From: Marvin Cummings [mailto:marvc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 5:03 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Newbie Exchange Install...Newbie http://www.MSExchange.org/ Exchange Newbie Here...so please be patient... OK..I've just finished installing a fresh copy of Exchange 2000 Enterprise server onto my newly created W2K AD domain. Now what? I have SP1 & SP2, do I dare install them both or just SP1? Are there any changes I need to make before I'm able to do anything. This manual that I'm using is tad bit too advanced for me so any assistance is appreciated... ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: alopezdeayala@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: marvc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
