Michael, In this blog post, you state:
" You cannot install Exchange 2010 SP1 without first installing a handful of hotfixes. This is a hard-block in the Exchange setup program, which means that if the hotfixes are not detected, the setup program will abort." This is not true - let me tell you why I think so. I just installed a 2010 SP1 server with the HT role. During setup (GUI based) I selected the option to download the necessary OS updates and features, and the installation went without a hitch. Afterwards, I manually ran the installer for each of the five hotfixes and only one of them claimed to already be installed. So it seems that although they are required for a supported installation of Exchange, Exchange will still install without them.
