Great Les, thanks! I'm waiting for the tool, since I'm remote from the

Hi Bobby,

You are welcome.

Yes, please refer to the SBS official blog as well as the KB973862 . ( Please notice the "Known issues that may occur after Exchange Server 2007 SP2 is installed" part)

You cannot install Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 on a Windows Small Business Server 2008-based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973862/en-us

When the installation tool is available, we should blog it and inform you then. Thanks for your time and support.


Best regards,

Thanks, I signed up. I can't find the link to sign up for an NNTP feed on
the home page. The instructions say click NNTP setup but that link does not
exist.
