Hi Richard

I agree with Lanwench that you shouldn't run Beta in production environment.
Having said that I have been running RC1 and RC2 since March on my own
office SBS XP WS with no problems since March with my profiles saving to
server. The SP2 Firewall is disabled however and I am using ISA Firewall
Client. GP policies should have disabled your firewall until you install
the new QFE but check to make sure the SP2 Firewall is off. If you can save
your profiles from a SP1 WS I would unistall SP2 until it is Released this
month.

I have definitely not installed SP2 on ANY of my customers computers!
