Windows Server 2003 SP2 released today

I lied, one more update today before I go finish packing.

Microsoft quietly released Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003 - all editions. Their website calls it a release candidate, but given it's presence on the official update site, I suspect it's the final version.

You can get it via the update site, or if you prefer (as I do) to get it as one download and apply it offline, you can get the entire package here:

Along with a complete rollup of all critical updates released since SP1, it also includes some new features, which depend on whether you are running the standard, R2 or SMS versions.

See the FAQs for more information.

And now I am outta here - see you in two weeks!
