Hi,
We're about to upgrade from Exchange 2003 SP1 to Exchange 2003 SP2.
We're running multiple Exchange Clusters on Backend servers, and have to
load balancing Frontend Servers.

Can we do the upgrade step by ste. By that I mean upgrading the 2 Frontend
servers and 1 cluster at one time, and 2 of the other clusters the next day..
Or do we have to do the upgrade in one operation?

One of the reasons for the upgrade is to support windows mobile 5 devices.
Can we use the function with SP2 installed only on the Frontend servers?
Users who are going to use the active sync feature hav mailboxes on different
clusters...

Does anyone have information about this??
Do you consider SP2 as a "low risk" upgrade?

Best Regards
Bjørn
 
it is a low risk upgrade

personaly i would sp the lot - mixed sp is not a good idea
just do the front first
