Install is on a cluster and the deployment guide says:
"Install Exchange 2003 completely on one node before you install it on
another node".
My question is what is complete?
Does this mean the binarys only or SP's or to the point of creating the EVS
etc.
Hope you don't mind me tagging this onto the orginal question.
Thanks,

Skip

As long as the cluster services are installed on the box you can install
Exchange and the latest Service pack on both nodes before creating the
clustered Exchange Resource. The install will detect the cluster service
and install it cluster aware.

Follow-up question:
Since I need to install Hotfix 898060 which requires SP1 to be installed and
the release notes state it should be installed prior to SP2, Do I need to
install SP1, hotfix then SP2 or can I go straight to SP2?

Since 898060 is a windows Hotfix it should not affect it, You can go right
to Exchange SP2 without affecting the Windows fix. Generally I would
install all the Windows SP1 and Hotfixes and then Install Exchange and
Exchange SP2.

Thanks for the reply.
I guess I was thinking this was an Exchange hotfix.
I had already installed Windows 2003 SP1 + prior to installing Exchange 2003.
Any chance I could get you to look at another post titled " need help
interpreting dcdiag outpu" :-)

For DCdiag info you may want to cross post over in
microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory as well.
