Hi all, a quick update: Before people think ISS did not support us very well, that is not the case, since our support contract is not directly with ISS.
I did reinstall the entire SP2 installation based on the download on the ISS site of the SP5 based installation. This went without problems. The only thing still not working are the Internet Scanners; they seem to fail on the XPU update. I will manually update them on the boxes itself, rather then from the SP console. (I mean, the Fusion correlation does make life easier for my co-workers). All in all it's been a nice learning experience.
