Will Microsoft release any updates for SBS 2008 which will allow for the Exchange 2007 SP2 to install automatically through windows update or WSUS? I would rather wait until Microsoft have officially corrected any problems than edit the registry - is there any ideas on timescales for when this could be expected? 3 months, 6 months? longer?

thanks

I don't have Forefront security, however, I am running SBS 2008 so the first portion of the article applied to me, and resolved me not installing it, to a point.  After I completed the registry change, the service pack started to install, and then stopped.  Now I get an error "The Exchange binary files are not installed, but the backup settings registry key is present.  Only build-to-build upgrade mode is available."

How do I install

I have the same "The Exchange binary files are not installed, but ..." issue, and now all the Exchange services are 'disabled'.  

If I can't install SP2, how can I back-out what's been done?
