You should be posting in the SBS newsgroup.

What BPA are you talking about? You shouldn't need to remove anything.

I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd ask it here.

SBS 2003 BPA v2.5.2893.2 It says remove 135 updates before installing SP2.

There is a condition where Windows 2003 SP2 may fail to install on Windows
2003/SBS 2003 if a ton of updates have been installed over time. I think
that is what the rule is getting at.

1. Your first step should be to run a Microsoft Update scan to see if you
get offered KB 940276. If so, try to install that package. If you are
offered it, it will remedy the issue and install Windows 2003 SP 2. If you
are not offered that update, see step 2 below.

940276 You may be unable to apply more updates at a certain point on a
Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer

2. If you are not offered 940276, you can follow one of two options in the
blog post below to remedy this situation yourself. Please note, you only
need to perform the manual method or the batch file method, you do not need
to do both. Then install Windows 2003 SP2 yourself (either from download or
Windows Update/WSUS).

So simply installing 940276 (which I've been offered) will do the trick. No
ifs, and or buts?
