SBS 2003 and patch/SP enigma

Greetings Experts!
I'm re-building a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard Server and I simply need a ordered list of patches and Service Packs that must be installed.

I've searched Microsoft and have not found an "ordered list" of Service packs/Patches that need to be installed. It breaks the Server if you automatically use the Critical Windows Update Services... I guess they need to make a "Patch" wizard! Can any one help me out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi
You didn´t tell which version of SBS? R1, R1SP1 or R2

If I asume that you have R1 you will need

Windows Server SP1, SBS SP1, Exchange SP1 and SP2, Sharepoint Services SP2.
Dont use Windows Server SP2.

Yeah, SBS R1.
I've tried Windows Server SP2 and it screwed up the system causing wizards to be stopped by DEP.

Windows updates will automatically download Windows 2003 Server SP2. I wonder what the issue is? Is there a MS URL that lists the required updates Robert?

Thanks Robert, I appreciate your help!

SP2 breaks SBS.

Unfortunately as my luck would have it, the answer is in another language...

I'm so tired of supporting MS products, getting closer to only recommending/supporting open source solutions and ofcourse, Apple products.

Have a good weekend,
