Important: verified backup required before proceeding.
You can probably guess by the red lettering that the installation of Service Pack 2 for Exchange 2007 is going to be problematic.
Checking Exchange Version
Running either of the two following command in the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) will produce the ominous AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.1 (***)
- Get-ExchangeServer ServerName | FT Name, AdminDisplayVersion
- Get-ExchangeServer | Format-List
If WSUS had installed SP2 AdminDisplayVersion : Version 8.2 (***)
Install SP2 or Not
The Official SBS Blog explains the problem and mentions a tool they are working on to deploy the service pack. I would agree with the official SBS blog team that for most people waiting for the SP installation tool is the best option.
Gotcha: All future Exchange 2007 Rollup Updates will require SP2 installed and is required for transition to Exchange 2010.
The Microsoft Support solution requires a registry change and stopping and starting of services to cure a list of possible side effects.
