Ewwww In place upgrade :) I did say you could have both. With tweaking just as you explained. But in place upgrades don't exist in my world, so that is why I do it the MS way.
Just different ways of doing things. Right? -----Original Message----- From: Siegfried Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 5:40 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Alert:Microsoft Security Bulletin - MS02-012 If you look close to both, MS02-011 & MS02-012, you'll see that they both point to the same patch for Windows 2000. Only MS02-011 includes a patch for the Exchange 5.5 IMS, not MS02-012. You can have both, Exchange 5.5 IMS & Windows 2000 SMTP, on the same machine. All you need to do is either: a) Change the Windows 2000 SMTP port from 25 to whatever you like a) Or disable the Windows 2000 SMTP service I'd recommend always installing the Windows 2000 SMTP service and apply any patches related to it, because a possible inplace upgrade to Exchange 2000 will be easier to accomplish. I'd also recommend to install Windows 2000 IIS and NNTP on such a machine for the same reasons. <Siegfried /> > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 2:33 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Alert:Microsoft Security Bulletin - MS02-012 > > Here is how I see it.
