Q: We’re looking into replacing our
current Exchange Server 2003 SP1
server with new server hardware.
Do you know of any problems we might encounter with having
a mixed environment of servers running Exchange 2003
SP1 as well as Exchange 2003 SP2? Going straight to SP2
on new hardware will save us work down the road.
A: I haven’t heard of any problems with running a mixed
Exchange 2003 SP1/SP2 environment as you describe. Be
aware, however, that if you use a front-end and back-end
setup, you must upgrade the front-end servers first. So effectively,
if you were to have any back-end Exchange 2003 SP2
servers, then you should upgrade your front-end servers first
to SP2.
