SYMPTOMS
If you upgrade a computer that is running Small Business Server (SBS) 4.0 or 4.0a to SBS 4.5, you may receive the following Dr. Watson error message:

An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated. Setupbo.exe



CAUSE
This issue can occur if the Microsoft Exchange Directory Service cannot start.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, manually upgrade Microsoft Exchange Server:
 * 1) Insert the third CD-ROM of the upgrade set in the CD-ROM drive.
 * 2) Start Setup.exe from the  :\Exchsrvr\Server\Setup\I386 folder.
 * 3) After you have upgraded Exchange Server, run Update.exe from the  :\Exchsrvr.sp2\Server\Setup\I386 folder to install Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2).
 * 4) After you restart the server, insert the first CD-ROM of the upgrade set, and then start the Upgrade Wizard. The Upgrade Wizard detects that Exchange Server has been upgraded already; therefore, it passes over this installation point.
