Exchange Server 2010 service pack 3 installation and domain preparation steps

Folks,

I'm now trying to repair the Microsoft Exchange Security Groups with the type "Unknown"

So which command should I execute first and what is the impact on the email flow during the business hours ?
here's the command that I can found so far:

/setup PrepareSchema
/setup PrepareAD
/setup PrepareDomain

My AD structure is just single forest domain with Windows Server 2003 as the domain & forest functionality level.

ok, so I assume that any 64 bit domain joined server will do.

and then what about the next steps, do I need to reboot each of the Exchange Servers to recognize the new AD security groups ?

or can I continue with the other two command for installing SP3 ?

Gareth,

Thanks for the detailed explanation, so why is that I cannot run the command from the latest Exchange Server 2010 SP3 files ?

is there any harm or caveats when running from the latest ? because I cannot find my previous installation media.

The current version of the Exchange Server when I joined this new company is Exchange 2010 SP2.
Go ahead and try. Just thinking it may error out.
Thanks once again.
You are welcome!
