As long as you don’t approve it, SP2 will not be deployed by SUS/WUS. However, your users can still use something like Windows Update to manually pull it down and install it on their own.

 

Rather than delaying SP2 deployment, why not work on resolving the issues that you anticipate having with SP2 when it is deployed?

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Blocking SP2 rollout

 

My apologies for posting this here but I am not get clear answers from other places I have asked this question.

 

As you no doubt know, MS are forcing an XP SP2 rollout as of 12th April this year. We have SUS in our environment and have downloaded the SP2 package but set the "not approved" flag.

 

What I want to know is can I block SP2 indefinitely or will it unleash itself onto my network on the 12th ? If I can block it for as long as want, what is the best way to do it ?

 

We do want SP2 for all of our clients, we just dont want it yet !

 

Many thanks
