hello again. how do i check which service pack is currently installed for exchange 2007? i can't see anywhere in the exchange management console that shows it and i want to know if i need to upgrade it. thanks.

Hi FatBoy.

In the Exchange System Manager you can simply choose Help -> About and see the version number. If it's 8.1 (Build 240.6) then Service Pack 1 is installed. If it's 8.0 (685.24) then it isn't, it's RTM.

There is a Microsoft article that explains it here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232170.aspx

There are only some programs with required characteristics for working out problems related to ms exchange. I luckily caught sight one of them several days ago and to my way of thinking this tool would become the best determination for other exchange problems - software package to retrive pst files from exchange server to outlook.
