Here's my delimma, if I'm just paranoid let me know.

I have the product CD for Exchange 2003 Standard Edition CD and have
downloaded both service packs.  I am trying to install onto a Windows 2003
Server which already has SP1.  Questions:

Should I use the Deployment tools from the CD or the SP1 version that I
downloaded?
The Setup programs gives a window that says there are "known problems" with
this Windows release.  Can this be safely ignored?
I don't seem to be able to slipstream the Exchange SPs into the release.  Is
this possible?
What is the recommended install procedure in this instance to insure that I
use all the currnet versions of utilities, etc.?

TIA,
Jeff
