Hello Eric, I went to the M$ Windows 2003 server page and found this Doc that lays out all of the changes: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/servicepa ck/overview.mspx
> You referred to SP1 having "too many changes." How did you make this determination? I just read the above doc and it seems that this is more of a complete overhaul of the OS vs. some fixes rolled up like Win XP SP1. Also, just my opinion here, but I am in the healthcare field and everything is mission critical as far as the directory is concerned. I personally will let other make the jump and find all the pitfalls as MS isn't always as forth coming in issues and fixes for those issues. > What is the threshold where we cross in to too many? When you are altering the core OS ad the way it works vs. a security fix. >2) What steps will you be going through between now and when you do >install it? I will cruise the newsgroups to read other accounts as the KB site often has confusing documentation on resolving issues. I find it is better to find the direction one needs to go by other experiences. >What will you do between now and deployment to give you the >confidence level you need to fire it up on a box and see how it goes? I will just give it a go as soon as it seems safe in a couple of months. It is just like SP2 for win xp. If you install it, the sp2 will break the ability to view other people's sessions on their systems. This was a show stopper for me until I spent about a month searching for a little know regedit that needs to be made on the users system to restore this functionality. Just my 2 cents. If you have a good firewall and anti-virus protection, things can slide for a little while as others test it out first. David A.

I ask out of curiosity, not disagreement. Specifically: 1) You referred to SP1 having "too many changes." How did you make this determination? What is the threshold where we cross in to too many? 2) What steps will you be going through between now and when you do install it? What will you do between now and deployment to give you the confidence level you need to fire it up on a box and see how it goes? Interested, so we can perhaps think through ways to make that less painful going forward. ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave A.
