Exchange SP2 - no autoupdate?

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I just realized one sbs server at a client's location isn't running exchange
sp2 yet. I can't remember installing it on the others but this is the only
one without it..

Is SP2 for exchange supposed to come as an auto update or only manually?

Additionally, are there any specific checkpoints required to install
Exchange SP2 on SBS 2003 Premium? Does it require a reboot?

Hello Keven,

Thank you for your post. My name is Robbin Meng, and it is my pleasure to
work with you on this issue!

Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:

One of your SBS server has not installed Exchange server 2003 Service Pack
2. You would like to know if SP2 for exchange is supposed to come as an
automatic update or only to be installed manually.

If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

Generally, Exchange server 2003 Service Pack 2 is a critical update and
should be delivered from Microsoft Update website to your server
automatically. You may also manually download and install it from Microsoft
download center. We don't need to reboot after upgrade, system will
automatically restart related services. However, during the upgrade, mail
flow on your Exchange server may suspend.

More information, please check:

Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2: Frequently Asked Questions
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/bb288543.aspx

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Release Notes

You cannot install Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 on a Windows Small Business
Server 2003-based computer that has the Exchange Server Intelligent Message
Filter v2 installed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935916/en-us


Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other concerns or
questions. Thanks and have a nice day!!


Best regards,

Robbin Meng(MSFT)
