yes. im trying to update my exchange server to the latest patch. is there anything from the windows update that i need to uncheck before i proceed

I would recommend to update Exchange and Exchange Rollup Updatesseparatelyfrom Windows OSupdates. Also manual install of Exchange Update Rollups would be the best bet...Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hi, For the critical/important class updates, you need to install all of them.For Exchange 2007 update, I agree with Amit, you'd better download the package and install it separately. Thanks, Elvis
