Exchange SP3 on windows 2008 SBS?
Do i need to prepare AD before installing SP3 or will the SP3 update perform this during the installation?
Im using Version 8.1 (Build 240.6) on a freshly install windows 2008 SBS. no data is present in exchange.

I've read the site http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=2140 and theres no mention to preparing AD and the setup was succsessful. Can anyone confirm the AD prep is performed as part of the SP3 install?
thanks.
thanks.

I've got one Exchange 2007 and one Exchange 2010 server and the setup says I need to do a Setup /PrepareAD. That seems odd.

@Susan: For this release there was not a public beta made available.
@Robert: We made some schema changes in SP3 which will require you to extend the schema even if you have the RTM version of Exchange 2010. The changes are documented here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607224(EXCHG.80).aspx
