Hello

I have just done a clean install of SBS 2000 server with ISA server and Exchange server.

I am wondering do I install the service pack and patches for windows 2000 server and then for exchange server or the other way round?

Does it matter which way round?

I just seem to remember one time when in a similar situation that after installing the service pack the exchange services wouldn't work at all.

Thanks
 
I would recommend 2000 server first as that is the base. If the answer is here, mark it, others can benefit from it too. If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

Ok, thanks
However one more thing - I am getting prompts saying to overwrite a newer file - should I say yes or no to all?
 
sorry, missed this post. No is (was ) the answer. If the answer is here, mark it, others can benefit from it too. If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.
