Exchange 2010 sp2

Is it a best practice to upgrade straight to service pack 2 for Exchange 2010. We are a one exchange server org. running exchange 2010 without sp 1.

There are a number of bug fixes on SP2 so it's best to install it.

The question is whether sp1 can be skipped and just install sp2. please provide documentation if possible.
Looks like you need SP1 to install on Server 2008

Yes, you can...
CIf you have ESET AV for Exchange, wait until has a version compatible with SP2. At this time has no version compatible with SP2 and installing may cause that your Exchange has not antivirus protection.
