INSTALLING EXCHANGE 2003 SP 1 ON SBS 2003
Exchange 2003 SP1 is SUPPORTED on SBS 2003
Expand the Exchange 2003 Service pack
Read about the changes here included in Exchange 2003 SP1
Download it and "unpack" it....
Since this is not via cdrom... don't use this install screen.....
As it will give you this error ---
Instead the install file called update.exe can be found under the \setup\i386 directory
click update.exe and it will begin the install
The install will begin
Agree to the EULA
Click next
If the GZIP patch is not installed you will get this error
Click OK
831464 - FIX: IIS 6.0 compression corruption causes access violations:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;831464
Go grab that patch and download it
Finish the install of 831464
Now retry the install of Exchange sp1, Start over with the installation
Click next
The install will begin
When the wizard is finished it will prompt you to reboot
Please note - I already had the GZIP patch [831464] previously installed on my "main machine" and NNTP service was installed and in "manual" mode, but I just tried it on a VMware "bog" standard install SBS and did not need NNTP running but did need the 831464 patch as indicated above.
And when complete, and clicking on the "Servers" you see that it now indicates SP1 has been installed.

"I actually found out some more information about the
Exchange SP1 store.exe memory issue. It seems that in SP1 the Exchange team
changed how store.exe reports memory usage. More details excerpted here:
Prior to Sp1, the database cache bytes are
counted as mapped bytes. In
Sp1, the database cache is
counted under private bytes.
This changed because of the Jet NT
code-base merge. Thus, the private bytes will be considerably higher
(about 940 MB higher) for Ti SP1 than Ti, Pt etc,
and mapped bytes will be correspondingly lower."
In SBSland we will get the following notification
The store.exe process is allocating more memory than usual.Check to see if you are having problems with e-mail. If so, stop and then restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.
Based on the note above... we're guessing add 1,000 to it?
Select Performance Counters
Due to the fact that my STORE is very small, I will not adjust the threshold, but if you need to, add 1,000 to this counter
If you can't install because of an issue with Search
If you are getting Dependency Manager: ***ERRORLOG EVENT*** :
CDependencyManager::ValidateDependencyStates() : The dependency of
Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services on Microsoft
Search is not satisfied.
Look under this key "HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Search\Install"
and if all you have is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Search\Install]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\System\\MSSearch"
Then add the following :
Major Version: REG_DWORD: 0x9
Minor Version: REG_DWORD: 0x6b
Version: REG_SZ: 9.107.5512
