Exchange 2003 SP2 Compatible with Windows 2003 Server SP2
I'm running Windows 2003 Server with SP2 and Exchange 2003 with SP1. I'd like to know if Exchanges new SP2 is compatible with Windows 2003 Server SP2. Has anyone tried this or know if there is a compatibility issue? Thanks

Hi, I have an exchange front-end running Win2003 SP2 and Exch 2003 SP2. There were no issues with that. I would have upgraded the back-end to Win2003 SP2 as well, but the client was very nervous about it and wanted to hold off a couple of months. I haven't heard of any issues with Win2003 SP2 and Exch2003 SP2. It's worth noting though that there have been issues with Win2003 SP2 and ISA server, in case you also run that in your environment.

Dave; Thanks for your reply. I was just nervous cause the Windows 2003 Server SP2 compatibiltity list only stated Exchange 2007. Nothing at all about any of the service packs for Exchange Server 2003. I think I'll go ahead and install Exchange 2003 SP2 this weekend, we're not running the ISA Server so that's not an issue. Thanks again.

I have Exchange SP2 and Win2k3 SP2 running in a LAB environment with no issues, but I am not using the "Scalable Networking Pack" since the VMWare NIC does not support it. I have been waiting a while to put it into production in case something pops up that is not easily seen, and I am glad I did. I have recently read this Blog: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/07/18/446400.aspxwhich discusses "Windows 2003 Scalable Networking pack and its possible effects on ExchangeWindows 2003". They are seeing a LOT of issues.
