Exchange 2003 sp2 schema update

You removed the setup media or disconnected the network share. You then applied SP1 RU4v1. You then uninstall SP1 RU4v1. During the uninstall you are now prompted for the source media Exchange SP1. This scenario was a result of a bug in the Installer setup experience, where if we ship a non-versioned file with a companion file in the main product setup MSI file so in the Exchange SP1 media and then and we patch the non-versioned file for the first time so in the SP1 RU4v1 patch then the uninstall of the patch prompts for original install media because MSI has a bug where it does not make a backup of the non-versioned file when installing the patch.

An example of a non-versioned file is the logon. Beginning with Exchange , Sustained Engineering moved to model where we release public rollups on a routine basis as opposed to building individual hot-fixes that may or may not be publically accessible. This allows customers to get the latest code base fixes directly from Microsoft. However, sometimes customers do experience issues that require them to run what we have termed an Interim Update because they cannot wait for the rollup to be released that contains the fix.

Customers can obtain the Interim Update from Microsoft Support and deploy it to resolve their issue. Hopefully the information included above will prepare you in upgrading to Exchange Service Pack 2.
