It plays havoc with a number of main stream applications so I’d tread carefully: - http://www.desktoppipeline.com/29116549   It depends how big your user base is I guess… If you only have 20 or so users and a few apps then check them out in a lab and then run with it if you feel safe. If you are larger, i.e. 200+ users then it may be better to document all your apps and contact the vendors for confirmation that they work with SP2. I’d also build a lab up for my own peace of mind and then deploy to a pilot group for a duration before going live with it.   Personally, I have it installed on my laptop and will just watch the news, etc to see what happens for the next 8 weeks at least! I have been burned on MS service packs before so a bit shy of service packs on there initial release.   Rob   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adams, Kenneth W (Ken) Sent: 24 August 2004 14:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Service Pack 2   Installing or not installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 is a matter of personal choice at this time.  Set up a test machine that you don't care about formatting if needed, install Windows XP with SP2, and test your applications, including wireless connectivity.   You need to make up your own opinion.  The company I work for has chosen not to install SP2 until we have more time to learn how to configure the firewall in our environment.  We will install it, just not until we've tested the majority of the services and applications we use.
