I would imagine that estimate of "10 minutes" would depend on a great many things. Now if it were stalled for an hour with no progress, that might lead me to be concerned.

You may be able to restart the installation, but it is a good thing you have a backup. -----Original Message----- From: John Riley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 8:39 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Upgrading Greetings all, I am currently attempting to upgrade our current mailserver--MSExchange 4.0--SP2 to MS Exchange 5.5. I have manuals etc. and thought all was going well. The process started and I could see the progress going through its routine. Currently, the screen has a white background and a blue box where before I could see the installation progress percentage completed information and cursor is now the famous hour glass--like the installation has stalled. My question to you all--is this normal or has the installation indeed stalled? The server OS is NT4.0 SP6. I do have the systemed backup up, but hope I don't need to use it. A prompt response would be appreciated.
