Reapplying SP2 to SBS2003

Due to backupexec 10 lockup problems I am told to reapply SP2 to a R2 server

Do I simply download SP2 and run it then update patched

Hi:

Assuming we are discussing Windows Server 2003 SP2, yes. Download and execute.

Almost forgot. Like any significant changes to systems, but especially servers,
be sure you have a verified and tested backup.
