MORE INFORMATION
This problem does not exist in the May 1998 version of TechNet. The May 1998 TechNet CD-ROM on which Exchange Server 5.0 Service Pack 2 is included is labeled correctly.

The Readme.txt file that is included with the service pack on the April 1998 TechNet CD-ROM clearly states that it is Exchange Server 5.0 Service Pack 2. You should always view the associated Readme.txt file or Release Notes before applying a new service pack or installing a new program.



SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0 U.S. Service Pack 2 is included with the April 1998 version of Microsoft TechNet. However, the CD-ROM on which the service pack is included indicates that it is Exchange Server 5.0 Service Pack 1, not Service Pack 2. In addition, when you apply the service pack, the installation program does not indicate which service pack you are installing. As a result, when you apply Service Pack 2 from the TechNet CD- ROM, you may think you are applying Service Pack 1 instead.



WORKAROUND
Exchange Server 5.0 Service Pack 2 does not include an uninstall program that can be used to remove Service Pack 2 after you install it. If you mistakenly install Service Pack 2 and then decide that you want to remove it, you must restore from a backup.
