I would suggest redoing sp2 on all PC's. Then re run
network wizard and do all the ussual steps. Try
comparring local securtiy Policies amoungst the computers
to see which ones work and which ones don't. The problem
is not SP2, the problem is that your settings were a
security issue before, but were never detected or made an
issue. Now that you did the sp2 thing, you have made them
an issue, regardless of whether you remove SP2 or not.
