Hej!
Nån som rullat ut sp1 för 2003 än och kan berätta om lite problem resp. positiva nyheter med det?

/Martin

Vi har inte rullat Win2003 SP1 ännu eftersom att Dell inte supporterar det med Dell OpenManage 4.3. Version 4.4 ska stödja Win2003 SP1 och det kommer månadsskiftet maj/juni.

Privat har jag kört in Win2003 SP1 på VMware ESX 3.1 installerade Win2003 och har hitentills inte upptäckt några problem.

Hej Martin

Vi har inte rullat ut det ännu i vår egna driftsmiljö. Några av våra kunder har gjort det och personligen har även jag gjort det på min arbetsstation, som kör Windows 2003 Std. Edt.

Våra kontakter på Microsoft skriver så här:

"Microsoft Corporation is releasing Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 on March 28th 2005. The service pack focuses on tightening security by locking down a number of operating system capabilities, and these security enhancements will help protect our hosting partners from potential viruses and malicious code threats.

The Hosting Solutions Team has finished component level testing of the Windows-based Hosting and Hosted Messaging and Collaboration solutions. We have found with each of the solutions there are different considerations. We are recommending that hosters using either of the solutions should not update to Service Pack 1 at this point. Rather, hosters should wait for the next scheduled release of the Windows-based Hosting Solution in June or the September release of Hosted Messaging and Collaboration if they are hosting Exchange Server.

Our recommendation is based on the fact that Service Pack 1 focuses primarily on three areas, “Locking down the servers with Group Policy enforcement”, “Tightened protocol communication” and additional “diagnostic tools”. Our solutions currently address the first two of these areas. We have implemented Group Policy management extensively in our solutions; our protocol communication is limited to the back end servers. We offer diagnostic tools through services like Microsoft Operations Manager but not at the core operating system level.

We have made a business decision to focus on our next release of the Windows-based Hosting solution which is currently scheduled to release in June. This will give our hosting partners the opportunity to finish testing Service Pack 1 in their environments. This release will fully support Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003. Our next release scheduled for September of Hosted Messaging and Collaboration aligns with the release of Service Pack 2 for Exchange Server and will include support for Service Pack 1 for Windows 2003.

Thank you,
George Guempel
Technical Product Manager"

Så ur Hosting-perspektiv anser de att det är bäst att vänta. Men det är ju mest beroende på vårt fokus, det vill säga, hosting.
