Installing Windows SBS 2003 Sp1
Hello,
We have a client running Windows SBS 2003 Service Pack 1 (OS)
Our ultimate goal is to get Windows Service Pack 2 installed, so that they can take advantage of a new backup solution. However, we noticed that SBS sp1 has not been installed.
I discovered and read the following link: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Des
Which provides instructions for installing SBS sp1
Download and save the following updates into the SP1 folder:
1. Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
2. Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Service Pack 1
3. Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1
4. Windows XP SP2 for Client Deployment
5. Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Windows Server 2003 sp1 is already installed
Sharepoint is not listed in Add Remove Programs, but there is a Microsoft SharePoint Administrator interface. I have no idea if WSS is installed for certain, and am not sure how to find out.
Exchange is 6.5 (Build 7638.2: Service Pack 2)
Windows XP SP2 for Client Deployment was installed
BPA says Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is not installed
Having never done this, I must confess that I attempted the Sharepoint update, but it failed (I don't recall the exact error, but it could not find the correct version)
I bypassed the Exchange update
I installed the Windows XP Sp2, which was successful
and I attempted the SBS 2003 sp1, which seemed to go well (took a while) until the end when it generated an error, and yet presented the Finish dialog box and then indicated the install was successful. After a restart, it appeared that the install was going to continue, but it failed.
Do I try to run through all five updates, even though Window Server Sp1 is already installed and Exchange is already at sp2? How can I tell if SharePoint is truely installed, and what do I do if it is not?
I am at a loss of how to proceed.
I am grateful for any assistance.
Linda

That is what this post is about. I am attempting to install Sp1 for SBS 2003.

To clarify. There is a difference between Windows Server service packs and SBS service packs.
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is installed.
Windows SBS 2003 Service Pack 1 is not installed.
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is installed.
Windows SBS 2003 Service Pack 1 is not installed.

Microsoft Share Point Administrator

They appear to be in a running state. http://companyweb/Remote prompts for credentials, but it won't accept the admin credentials.
I do get the default Welcome page; My Comany's Internal Website does not do anything when I click the link.

Update: I checked a little deeper, and according to Windows update SharePoint Services 2.0 sp3 was installed successfully (2007).
That makes me even more confused at why the SBS service pack failed.

Did you manage to get an answer for your query?

The customer was the cause of the primary issue - since they deleted so many critical items, it would have been to costly to "fix" the problem. The ultimate solution was to upgrade the machines.
I do appreciate the replies and assistance in this matter.

Is SP1 for SBS2003 installed or not?
If not, I suggest taling a full server backup and install SP1 for SBS 2003. Give it a week to make sure eveything is working. Check your other apps and amke sure there is nothing installed that is not compatible with sbs SP2 and install SP2.
Take a look at the other service packs for your installed apps and bring everything up to current levels.
You really should look at the new SBS versions. They have been improved greatly.
