hotfix 898060   

The SP2 instructions for exchange are some what confusing the release notes 
specficaly say that hot fix 898060 should be installed on a windows 2003 
server before installing SP2.  looking deeper into the issue the update is 
not listed in the add remove programs.  But the Microsoft exchange server 
best practices analyzer does not report that this hot fix needs to be 
installed per the recommended detection method for the hot fix.   My question 
is does this hotfix have to be installed?

RE: hotfix 898060   

Hello,

My answer is: If you have installed Windows 2003 SP1 on the server, please 
install the hotfix. 

If you do not know whether the hotfix has been installed, you can check the 
version of Tcpip.sys. 
1.	Locate to c:\windows\system32\drivers.
2.	Right click Tcpip.sys and click Properties.
3.	Click Version and check the value of File Version. If it is 
5.2.3790.2453 or higher. You need not to install 898060. If not, please 
install the hotfix.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know.

Re: hotfix 898060   

Also running ExBPA 2.6 against the server will indicate if the hotfix has 
not been applied.
