Michael,
In this blog post, you state:
You cannot install Exchange 2010 SP1 without first installing a handful of
hotfixes. This is a hard-block in the Exchange setup program, which means that
if the hotfixes are not detected, the setup program will abort.
This is not true - let me tell you
Honestly, I only tested it from the command prompt; but I did have the article
reviewed by someone at MSFT before I posted it.
I'll give it a go too, and if you are right, I'll update my post. Thanks for
the heads up.

No problem at all. I only found this out because I was testing that new
install required features button in SP1, hoping that it might download and
install these pre-reqs for me. I was surprised as any that it worked, if I'm
honest!
I've got another server to install, I'll try it from the CLI
So forgive me if I'm missing the obvious here, but when I add my new
Exchange 2010 server into our current Exchange 2003 environment, what
happens to the Exchange management tabs in ADUC as well as my options in
Exchange System Manager? Do I still retain the same abilities using the

Confirmed: using the CLI checks for the hotfixes and the install is abandoned
if they aren't present. The GUI does not check.

The rule (with one exception) is simple: manage Exchange 2003 objects using the
Exchange 2003 tools; manage Exchange 2010 objects using the Exchange 2010 tools.
The one exception is move mailbox. That should ALWAYS be done from an

The first time I did the install, I had a half-dozen other things going on
(including the patch downloads and accumulation) and it took me about 2 hours.
Now, depending on the server, it's under an hour (I note that CAS seems to take
longer than anything else).
I'm guessing the average admin,
Oh, and I had two Microsoft people point out that on Windows Server 2003 and

That's harder than you might think.
Exchange 2010 introduces the concept of arbitration and delegation mailboxes.
Those are going to go on the first server you install, as are the interop
