Remember though ..  we don't retest/certify Enterprise Vault for every Microsoft update.

Your best approach would be to test the updates in / on a lab system first of all.

Hi Michel,

When you mean "compatibility guide" you are talking about this document, right?

Hi Rob, 

I agree with you, but unfortunately we do not have a test lab. 

But you are right, we have  think about a test lab, because the next update definetly will come.

Usually, a VM environment will do as a test lab.

It's relatively easy to set up, using your currently running environment as a basis for conversion from physical to virtual. Really, all it costs is time, if you choose your virtualisation methods carefully.

usually the Updates you should pay attention to are going to be ones that update the OWA Control Files for Exchange 2003 as that will mean you need to re run the EV Setup (if EV2007) or the MSI (if EV8) so that it can update the newest control files, just as long as they are currently supported etc.
