Upgrading Exchange 2007 SP1 to SP3

I am tasked to do an Exchange 2007 SP1 to SP3 upgrade to get our network ready for a jump from 2007 to 2013. I have done some research and before doing it wanted to make sure I'm on the right track. I have all my roles for Exchange running on one 2008 server and saw the upgrade link here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24111

I read that basically just running through the setup that many steps are automated on their own now. Wanted to confirm that since that just seems all too easy. Really wanted to get accurate steps on how to do a successful upgrade.

Hi,

installing SP is next, next process. Not much to talk about it.
Thing you should do before installing SP, is creating full backup of exchange, just in case.

Since you have just one server, with all roles, there is no install order.

Regards,
Ivan.

I've done dozens of these and for 2010 and 2013.  As long as your system is stable you should be good to go.

Awesome! Thanks guys! Just finishing doing the SP Upgrade and all is good now. Tomorrow I'll start working on getting Exchange 2013 ready for our upcoming migration.
