SBS 2008 – Installing Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 Using the SBS Wrapper

Instead of reinventing the wheel, Tim Barrett has an awesome step-by-step for installing the service pack and the extra components that may be needed here:

• No Geek Left Behind: Exchange 2007 SP2 on SBS 2008.

The files needed:

• Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP2 Installation Tool for Windows SBS 2008
• Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP2 File (884MB)
• Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable (Need v2-x64)

Yes, the Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 files is a whopping 884MB in size! Go have a coffee or lunch even after starting that download! :0)

We just finished installing the service pack on a freshly installed SBS 2008 VM with no issues that we can see. We did need the Windows Installer 4.5 update before we could install the service pack in this instance.
