How about running the
corporate standard SP2 with hotfixes for the issues you're
experiencing?

Well,
the problem is, I want/need some of the features that SP3 provides, but the
"main" location claims that they haven't had time to properly test SP3 so they
want to go ahead with SP2. Problem here is that we don't have a lot of
control over what they do; only what we roll-out... so the two choices are 1)
go with SP2 and deal with some of the problems that SP3 fixes (like terminal
services, DFS, etc.), or 2) go ahead with SP3 for our location and see what
happens.
Either
way I don't like the odds, but thanks for the ideas :)

Adam,
It's
always a best practice to maintain a consistent service pack level on your
servers. Particularly when you have distributed services running across
various servers (i.e. DNS, WINS, DHCP, DFS, etc...). Think of how service
packs fix known issues on particular platforms... do you really want a
patched service interacting with non-patched servers?

Does anyone out there know if
having a mix of SP2 and SP3 on the DCs in a domain will cause any
problems? We're moving to a single domain model with 3 major
locations. The "company standard" right now is SP2, but our location
has several things that we need SP3 for. The forest root servers (not
empty root, but forest root of our domain) will be at SP2. The DCs
will also have DNS, WINS, and DHCP on them. Any articles out there if
there are issues? Thanks,
Adam
