SiMoNsAyS Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 nice, any1 knows a final release date? how many RCs until that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Initial projections had said mid-2005.But remember its MS you're speaking about, so you never know..... (SP2 for XP got delayed by a year ). In fact, this (SP1 for ws2k3) itself is a delay - it was originally supposed to be out earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Frink Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Anyone else having problems installing it? I keep getting this message as it nears the end:I know it's just a crappy RC, but I still want to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendipjohn Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 sp1 went on fine for me B) Compared to the huge folder of induvidual updates I have collected in preparation to patch future installs, it seems very worth while, even if it is only a beta/early release/whatever you want to call it.Though the odd problem might happen once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Installed ok for me, but my adsl speeds seem to be have affected badly. On my 512k connection I usually get around 478-480 Kbps down. With SP1 installed I'm generally getting less than 400 Kbps down.Removed SP1 and speeds returned to normal. Installed it again for a 2nd time, and the same symptoms.

prathapml Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 @mendipjohnThe merging of hot-fixes into base sources - that's indeed a main reason why I like WS2k3 SP1 (even if its still in RC).@SpaceboyTwo probable reasons for your problem:1. Slip-stream SP1RC1 into your CD, and do a fresh install, and see if its fine now.2. Or its the TCPIP max-half-connections limit affecting you - that can be patched to get back pre-SP1 style unlimited connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ok, found the problem. On a normal 2k3 without Sp1, with an MTU of 1478, I'd get a default Rwin of 17256 without any TCPWindowsize setting in the registry.With Sp1 installed, the default was set to around 65000. After adding a 17256 TCPWindowsize to the registry speeds are back to where they were previously.With regards to the TCPIP max-half-connections limit, does anyone know whether SP1 RC1 is affected by this? I downloaded lvllord's TCPIP.sys patcher. When I run the program though, it tells me the current limit is 600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Frink Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Spoke with an MS rep last Thursday and was told that SP1 code had gone Gold...That's great, if true. Any idea how much longer one should expect it now?Of course, I had a hell of a time installing RC1, so let's hope the final SP1 will work for me!

odwoh Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Note about SP1:This thing seems to break custom skinning. Skins under SP2 no long work though the built in luna one still does.Anyone else noticed that? If so any ideas on fixing it?odwoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
