Windows server 2003 SP1 on Exchange 2003 SP1
hi guys
i have a cool 125 points for this question. I want to find out if anyone has installed the recently released W2003 SP1 on a window server 2003 box running exchange 2003 (with SP1). I'm a bit cautious about this and i just wanted to know if there has been any known drama with installing SP1 on a FE/BE configuration.
Cheers

Pete, can you provide more detail (and perhaps some links)? I have 2k03+X2k03 and SP1 applied and have had no issues since I applied it 1 or 2 weeks ago

ThanQ
Is is safe to install Windows SP1 with the new release, as I have heard that the firewall is turned off by default
