Installing Exchange2000 SP1

[AJB]

Hello,

I have downloaded all 12 components of Service Pack 1 and I have extracted each of the 12 .exe files to the SP1 folder I created on my local hard drive. I understand that this is correct.

Now I want to install the update. The Readme file talks about an update.exe file which I assume is what I need to run to install the update. I did not find this application in the SP1 folder, however, there is an app by this name in c:\sp1\setup\i386\ Is this the application to run to install SP1? Can you think of anything else I should know about installing SP1?

Thanks for your patience.

Anthony.

Yup thats it

Make sure your Exchange AV is the latest build then apply SP1 and be excited. That is about it. If you have ADC then you need to do a reinstall of it from the SP1 stuff. Dan

Thanks Xybertron/Dan.

I now have more questions.

Exchange AV (AV=Anti-Virus?) - what happens if SP1 is installed without having the latest build of Exchange AV? how do I find out if we have the latest build?

Thanks.

I meant the latest build of the 3rd party AV. In SP1 we went to AVAPI 2.0 and some software caused the store to loop and sit at 100%. Not good I won't name any names. Dan
