I'm re-installing windows server 2003 evaluation cd from my MS press books, and after it's installed, do I goto the MS website an add any windows updates? or do I upgrade to sp2?

thanks

Provided your copy can be re-validated (not sure whether the MS press license keys are still valid now for Server 2003) then you should be able to download SP2 and any other updates from Windows Update. If you have a CD with SP2 on it, just install that first - it will be quicker than downloading SP2 from Windows Update.

 

my other question is that if I downloaded sp2, will it affect my lab exercises in my MS press books? the reason I ask is because they always say sp1
