2003 Server SP2 on Exchange Cluster

TheITDud posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 10:04 AM

Greetings - Has anyone heard of any issues with 2003 Server SP2  and Exchange
2003? I've read there may be issues with SBS (I'm not running that)

Also, with an OS service pack on a cluster, do I need to do both nodes? I.E.
can I install on node A and switch Exchange from B to A for testing?

Thanks

Sure!

Sure!

1) Call your hardware vendor(s) and ask if they support it.

2) Do this

3) Read this

Next issues, you should install on the passive node(s) first then move
groups and repeat. All nodes will need the SP. Read this
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;174799 on the steps
for clusters and service packs.

Hi,

5) Evaluate the SP in your test environment on a physical node,
which ideally has the same sw/hw setup as the target machines.
