SBS 2008 – Exchange SP 3 Is On, Now What?

Microsoft has released Exchange 2007 SP 3.

• Exchange 2007 SP3 Download.

Now, with Exchange 2007 SP2 we needed to download a special wrapper for SBS 2008 so that the Exchange SP did not break anything.

• Microsoft KB 982423: How to install Exchange Server 2007 SP3 on a computer that is running Windows SBS 2008

When we read through the KB on the new SP, we can see that it is clearly indicated that Exchange 2007 SP3 will install on a production SBS 2008 without needing to do much beyond disabling the Forefront services if present.

Note that the Service Pack should be applied after running the Getting Started Tasks Wizards to avoid complications in IIS on SBS.
