I took over an IT gig and after looking at the server there are lots
of updates to be added to the server. When there haven't been any
updateds added for a long time is it best to just add then all or to
just do a few at a time? This is the only server for this group. It
is the exchange sever, file share server, and the internet dns/
gateway.

Thanks for your help.

Is it Small Business Sever 2003 or Server 2003 with Exchange? If it's SBS
are you using ISA?

Re: 2003 server

Hello frogman,

First save all important data and databases. The use windowsupdate.com and
install microsftupdate over this page. Then you can update step by step the
OS and then exchange etc.

Best regards

It is Server 2003 standard with exchange. I don't think I am running
ISA but I inherited this server from someone else.
 
Re: 2003 server

There is not enough information here to advise you further. If you can't
tell if ISA is running then I'm not sure you should be doing this. I
recommend you get someone with the required knowledge in to do this. If the
server has not been updated in a long time there are some pitfalls you may
run into with service packs for the the server and for Exchange. Please
don't take this wrong but if you can't figure out if ISA is running then you
don't have the required skills to fix things if something goes wrong while
installing the updates.

If you are determined to do this yourself then follow the advice in the post
from Meinolf Weber. That is the process you need to follow. Make sure you
have good backups and know how to restore them in case something goes wrong.
