I am pretty sure sp2 alone is not available from MS, it comes with the whole Exchange Server.<br />

When I upgraded from RTM to SP1 it wasn't just downloading and installing.<br />

<div>
So I should just run this Setup on the current Exchange Server:<br />

Correct. Grab the file, extract to a location on your local server, then run setup.exe. <br />

I think you are confusing R2 and SP2<br />

</div>


<div>
I was running R2 first, while upgrading from R2 to SP1, I just ran the setup file of Exchange 2007 with sp1 and it was a disaster. Everything had to uninstalled and then had to reinstall from scratch....<br />
<br />
Thats why was a bit concerned this time.<br />

As with all things of this type - make a good backup first - but AFAIK there are no issues

I see that Exchange sp2 is in 32 and 64 bit.<br />
<br />
Does that mean it can now be intalled on 32Bit Server 2003?

<div>
32bit edition of exchange 2007 and its service pack were always available.<br />
<br />
But installing Exchange 2007 32bit version is production is not supported in production environment, it only meant to be installed in LAB or in testing environment.<br />

Upgrading from Exchange Server 2007 SP1 to SP2

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
