Can't install SP1 for Exchange on a 2003 SBS
Hi,
I just finished re-installing my whole SBS2003 server. I am now trying to update Exchange with SP1 and I get the following error:
The component " Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration services" cannot be assigned the action "Update"
because
-You must ahve Exchange Server 20023 installed on this machine before installing this Microsoft Exchange Server service pack
Any Ideas why this can be happening?
Exchange was installed with the whole install of SBS 2003.

Exchange was installed with the whole install of SBS 2003.
Can you open exchange?
To determine which version of Microsoft Exchange Server you are running:
1.
Start Exchange System Manager (Exchange Server 2000 and later) or Exchange Administrator (Exchange Server 5.5 and earlier).
2.
Click the Servers object for the Administrative Group or Exchange Site to which the server belongs.
The Server Version column lists information for each server in the group.
Note For Exchange Server 2000, the version is 6.0; for Exchange Server 2003, the version is 6.5.
Could it be an upgrade from SBS2000 to 2003 and the Exchange component has been upgraded?

Exchange is packaged differently for SBS. All the products that SBS comes with, like SQL, Exchange etc. Or very different compared to the full blown products. The patch is most likely not seeing a certain pre upgrade modules etc. and will not patch.
Look for updates and patches for SBS2003 as a package.

I believe it is because you have the SBS version of Exchange installed.

I had installed it previously prior to the re-install of the O/S and i never had this problem so I know the cd's I have work.
Is there a way to just install the Messaging and Collaboration services?

This should guide you through the proper procedure of getting all the right updates in the appropriate order for SBS2003, including the updates for Exchange Server. I know it got me through it last week!

Yeah, unless you're on 3Mbit or higher, expect it to take all night at least. Good luck!
