No. I assume this had to be done initially to install Exchange 2003. I have installed service packs on stand alone Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers but did not have to prepare the schema each time as this suggests. <br />
Does SBS 2003 have this unique requirement?<br />

The following error appears when I attempt to install Exchange 2003 sp2. 

Exchange has been working on this Dell server for about 2 years. This is an OEM installation that I inherited about one year ago. 

Any thoughts?
