windows 2003 sbs upgrade to service pack 2
i am thinking about upgrading a 30 user windows 2003 sbs domain server/email server to service pack 2 but am a little leary as to having problems after it's done. i have read lots of info that suggest that there could be numerous problems afterward. what can i do to be safe? this sever is their domain controller as well as their email server as well as running Sql. just don't know if it will affect any of those items as well as just the o.s. itself. It is also backing up using Veritas backup exec. rev. 10.
1. Not do it.
2. try to "ghost" the raid it's running using newest ghosting product out there, and then upgrade.
3. ????
The system is a dual xeon server with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Small Business Server Restricted Service Pack 1 (build 3790)
Intel SE7520BD2S FRU Ver 0.01
if more info is needed, just ask and i will find it.

thank you, waiting until i have a "safe ghost" if possible, otherwise a verified backup with tested restore will have to do...
