Win2k3 server sp2

August 17, 2007

just wondering if there are any issues with windows server 2003

service pack 2. I have one AD domain with 3 domain controllers on

server 2003 with no service packs on the DC's. The server i want to

upgrade is a member server running sql server 2000. The other

applications on it are dell openmanage, arcserver backup agent,

adaptec storage manager, and visual C++ 6.0. Just wondering if win

server 2k3 sp2 plays nice with all of those. The release notes don't

say anything about them. Thanks

Hello,

I could find an issue about the SP2 for 2003 & SQL 2000:

I got a friend that had troubles with a dell server (no more network).

We had an issue with ISA 2006.

You should start with the Service Pack 1.

Are you looking after a new functionality from the SP2 ?

RE: Win2k3 server sp2

I deployed a few sp2 servers on dell hardware and sql 2000 and didn't have

any issues.

Re: Win2k3 server sp2

the case i catched is a bit specific:

Apparently, if you have an out of date version of the file DBNETLIB.dll ,the

Service Pack 2 disables TCP/IP access to MS SQL Server.

This is a defense against the Slammer worm. (some ugly work around by

Microsoft a have to say...)

Re: Win2k3 server sp2

I had trouble with a print server. Several HP and Xerox printers wouldn't

connect until I disabled their SNMP on the port options.

Otherwise I've updated two domain controllers without issue.

I recall seeing some issues where people used the downloaded version of the

SP2, and recommended using the version that is downloaded from Automatic

Updates. I don't recall what the issues where, but I've always used the AU

version....
