SBS 2011 Exchange SP3
After an attempt to install SP3 for Exchange 2010 (SBS2011) Exchange is now corrupt. No even installed anymore, Services are there but not running. I have just attempted to do a system state restore (Previous day) in DRSM mode which completed successfully, but it has not restored my Exchange. Do I need to do a restore using the DVD? System state and files?
I'm using the Proxmox hypervisor. Had previously practised this Exchange SP3 upgrade on a lab SBS 2011, ran all updates before I did this.

Yes that did the trick am back up and running, Exchange back working. think I'll give the Exchange SP3 a miss on this one.
Am on a Proxmox KVM, had one issue with Vertio drivers not loaded on the restore (SBS 2011 Backup/Restore) had to switch drives to IDE then load the Virtio drivers again.
