Windows 2003 SP1 and exchange

Windows wasn't too specific in their deployment strategy. I Should upgrade
my domain controllers first before I upgrade the server that Exchange 2003 is
installed on? I installed this on the exchange first and the install failed.

A service pack does not depend upon the domain controller that supports it. No,
you do not need to deploy Service Pack 1 on the domain controller first.
Please try the installation again of Service Pack 1, and reply back to this
posting with the entries from the log: svcpack.log, located in the %windir%
directory. To find this, just:
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type: notepad %windir%\svcpack.log <Enter>
4. Scroll down to near the part where it failed.
5. Copy and paste the section where it starts to fail, including where it first
hit an error related to the failure, so that we can get a better idea and
troubleshoot it more deeply--into a reply to this posting.

Also, feel free to send me an email with your svcpack.log attached. I would be
happy to take a look.

Please feel free to send me email directly at (drop the online. following the at

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
