Service Pack 2

So... who's gonna be first to test it out on their server?

I may, but in a Virtual PC

So far so good. Using the latest HFSLIP test release and the correct set of updates, the HFSLIP install went smoothly. I didn't notice anything special yet and WU is clean as a wistle. MS announced that it would be just a regular Service Pack, as in "a collection of updates", and it appears it is just that.

News have already been out for over a day, and several threads like this one already highlight the news. There's even a thread about slipstreaming it here.

In the first thread I linked to, cluberti made a list of the new stuff. And I've mentioned in there too that I've tested it on 2 servers already (and also in VMWare Server). I've also slipstreamed it no problem - installs fine too.

There's no point in being worried about it either. Service Packs are mostly the same patches people already have applied (and working fine), just in one big "rollout" / archive. And they're tested before they're released as final as well (I had been running the RC for a while with no problems).

I've been using SP2 on 3 of my servers for a couple of months now and have not had any issues with it.

No issues here, I might get round to using hfslip again once the updates start rolling in. I managed to nLite the whole install too with few problems.
