Installing Service Pack 1

I have an exchange 2007 server, and I'm quite happy with how it is set up.
When I install service pack 1 will everything blow up and have to be
reconfigured, or does this ususally go smooth?

Thanks in advance

Sp1 is a must-have.
Good backups before and after.

Theoretically it should be the same after.
SP1 is a very very worthwhile update. It puts the icing on the cake that was
missing in the RTM version.

Always have a good backup before performing any SP install. Otherwise you
can feel fairly safe with applying it. I have applied quite a few the past
couple of months with no issue.

My SP1 installation is at a standstill. I've been able to take care of
everything that the installer didn't like, but it is still convinced that the
system is waiting a reboot from a previous installation.

I rebooted it yesterday, so any ideas of a way around this?
Thanks
Jay

Hi there,

In the root of C:\.

In regards to your error - you need to reboot pending a previous
installation.

Also SP1 doesn't support NTLM and Basic authentication on the RPC virtual
directory (Outlook Anywhere). So be wary of this if you use both.

You can fix this via Powershell if you need too - the option for both in the
UI is removed.
