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? Thanks so much, Kelli Kelli Mariah Irwin Technical Specialist
