Have a SBS 2000 server. Have SP2 for Windows 2000. Tired to install SP1 for exchange and get error telling me that most current SP1 is on.
Norton Anit Virus for Exchange 2.5 software require SP1 for exchange and when I try to run it tells me I don't have it.
ALready went through with Microsoft to uninstall and reinstall Exchange 2000.
Any ideas?

The anti-virus may be causing the application to conflict with the installation,try uninstalling the anti-virus and then download and install the service pack,then reinstall the anti-virus software to see if this will work

Try to change the Norton Antivirus to MAPI mode rather than VAPI/MAPI or VAPI mode. In addition, you need to exclude the Real Time Protection for the Exchange database from the Norton Antivirus. Do reapply Windows 2000 SP2, and try to apply Exchange2000 SP1. My client's Environment is like yours. Do have a try..:)

How much free space do you have on this drive? You should diable Norton and then see if you can install the SP by directing the temporary install path to another drive with more storage space.

There shouldn't be any problem with SBS2000 and the service packs. Not even with Exchange running on it.

You might try stopping the Exchange services when installing/upgrading NAV though.
