Installing SP2 from SP1 - 7.Sep.2009 6:51:19 AM

Hi,

We are part way through our migration to 2007 from 2003, we have all servers deployed and before we do our final testing we thought it would be wise to get fully up to date and install SP2. My question is does SP2 need to extend the schema even if you are running SP1? I have read about prep for 2010, is this why?

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Mate:

May be this should help you:
Extend the Schema
In order to deploy Exchange 2007 SP2, you must first extend the schema. Depending on your environment's configuration, one of the following scenarios will happen:

If your Active Directory environment currently does not have any Exchange Server version deployed, then when you extend the schema, the schema changes included with Exchange 2000 through Exchange 2010 will be deployed in your environment.
If your Active Directory environment is currently Exchange 2000 and you are upgrading to Exchange 2007, then when you extend the schema, the schema changes included with Exchange 2003 through Exchange 2010 will be deployed in your environment.
If your Active Directory environment is currently Exchange 2003 and you are upgrading to Exchange 2007, then when you extend the schema, the schema changes included with Exchange 2007 through Exchange 2010 will be deployed in your environment.
If your Active Directory environment is currently Exchange 2007 and you are upgrading to Exchange 2007 SP2, then when you extend the schema, the Exchange 2010 schema changes will be deployed in your environment.

Note: When you run the sp2 it will automatically it will extend the schema.

Thanks for the reply, I had read that document but the following statement:

If your Active Directory environment is currently Exchange 2007 and you are upgrading to Exchange 2007 SP2, then when you extend the schema, the Exchange 2010 schema changes will be deployed in your environment.

didn't specifically mention SP1, so wondered if the schema changes for 2010 were in SP1 which we are running therefore we wouldn't require a schema update...

I guess I was hoping so, then I wouldn't have to go through change control again

Hi ismail.mohammed,

Did you manage to run the upgrade from Exchange 2007 SP1 to Sp2 successfully?

I'll await your prompt response.

hi,

It was pretty straight forward to me..

We have HUB+CAS on one server & MBX SCC

Initially i reproduced the environment in my lab..and installed sp2 on CAS server and then passive node and then active node.

So far i haven't faced any issue

One more thing : backup - i took the backup of the database\ system state and IIS before i could go ahead with the installation
