Exchange 2010 SP3 was released yesterday, here is a very quick walk through of the installation process in case you don’t have a test environment to hand.

The whole SP3 installation tool under 30 minutes from start to finish on a vm workstation based SBS 2011 server with 8GB of Ram and a single vCPU. Granted my Exchange database size is small at only a few 100MB, but looking at the release notes unless you are upgrading from the RTM version is shouldn’t take much longer.
