I'm trying to install SP3 on our Exchange 2007 server. &nbsp;I have successfully installed SP2 and the system is functioning normally. &nbsp;However when ever I try to install SP3 I get the error: A reboot from a previous installation is pending....<br />
<br />
A reboot doesn't solve the problem. &nbsp;We're running 64 bit Exchange on an 64-bit Server 08 - R2 system.<br />
<br />
One suggestion I have read is to stop the Backup Exec Remote Agent before trying SP3 install, which I did, but nothing changes.<br />
<br />
Any ideas. &nbsp;I need to get SP3 installed to resolve an issue with the Backup Exec backup.
