To which version?
If 9.0 then upload the iso and "upgrade"


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

I have try 9.0.2. But the way by I upgrade using Web Manager dont work for downgrade. Server refuse to upload an inferior ISO file. Actually since SP4 is suppose to be release soon Ill wait for it to fix all the issue of SP3... But just for the science knowledge and future issues iam trying to figure how it can be done without using DVD and run a complete reinstallation.

You should be able (i did not try to be honest) to upload the iso with Chrome or Firefox and then do an upgrade.
But if this is not possible then i will try this myself
If it is a virtual server edition then always make a snapshot before you upgrade.
When it goes wrong then turn it off and put back the snapshot and start the server.

Its not a browser problem, the transfert begin but it stop and the server told that you are in a superior release. Its really a server message, not a bug. The server is an HP blade preprogramed by AVAYA.

Then i guess you have to raise a bug as a downgrade should always be an option.

FYI

I have run the DVD into server, the downgrade work on this way. But if you have already use the critical patch the IPO service wont downgrade but all other services will, i guess that its a good idea to remove the patch before a downgrade. In my case i have erase everything using DVD and I have use a backup.
