Hi all

I'm just doing the SP2 update on a test machine at work, and I was wondering if any of you that have updated have had any problems or issues with it, especially in a networked enviroment. I'm going to be doing some testing ect this afternoon, but I was just wondering what you lot thougth of it.

I'm not planning on doing the rest of the network till next week, as I've got so much on in the next few day's, so feel free to add to this in the next few day's.


Thanks


Andy

 

I put it on 14 PCs at work yesterday, and the pop-up blocker was the only "problem", in that some of our intranet sites use them, so I had to tone down the settings.

We have an ISA firewall on the network, and I have zero reports of conflicts since, and thats with the SP2 fire left on.

Only other thing I had reported to me was that MSN has to be "unblocked" to operate, and, separately, the Send Files option in MSN needs unblocked too.

Apart from that, a good move. And major brownie points from El Boss too

 

Thanks AJ, that info will come in handy


I don't plan to do the rest of the network till the end of the week, but I haven't encountered any problems on the test machine sofar, so I'm pretty hopefull that it won't cause any headaches.

Thanks all.

thought you guys might like to look at this

it does do wonders I suppose...

 

Hmmm, some pretty common names on that list. you would think that MS would do a least some testing with things like Norton and Zonealeram!!


Oh well, I suppose you don't have to make sure that your product update's don't cause headaches for your user's when they don't really have an alternative. Shafted again lol.


Linux, here I come baby!!!

 

Good link, NoelG - cheers.
