Swing Migration non R2 media and SP2 Andrew 10.07.2007 15:46:01 I'm going to start a new swing migration soon (have done many successfully). I will be using the client's existing SBS Premium media which is not R2. I'm wondering if I should apply Windows Server 2003 SP2 at all though this process or just install all updates except for SP2. Any thoughts? Please let me know. Andrew

Re: Swing Migration non R2 media and SP2 Andrew 10.07.2007 16:00:00 I probably won't install it then until SBS SP2 is released. Is there a way of stopping Microsoft Update from wanting to download and install SP2? I have Auto update set to Off.

Re: Swing Migration non R2 media and SP2 Andrew 12.07.2007 14:26:10 Hi Cris, Thanks for your help. I've got SP2 turned off in Microsoft Download. The clients existing SBS box has never had SP1 or other updates applied to it. The software I am using for the migration is there original SBS software Pre-SP1. Should I patch the existing box to all of the current updates (W2K3-SP1, EX2K3SP2...) prior to performing the migration? I usually would do this, but all of my previous migrations have been with new R2 media because they were volume license clients. This particular client has the Retail Box Product Upgrade software. Please let me know.
