RE: Where does SBS store its client updates?

Hi,

Thanks for updates.

I am sorry to hear that SP2 have bring you some inconvenience, as we did
recommend to install SP2 on XP clients, so there is no way to remove it
from the client application. You have to remove it manually after install
it on clients. So in that way you will receive no notification for SP2
after this.

Thanks for your understanding.



Best regards,

Charles Yang (MSFT)

| Charles,
|
| Thanks for your reply. However, as I've indicated, I've had bad
experiences
| trying to install XP SP2 on older machines. It invariably "breaks" the
| operating system, necessitating a complete, clean reinstall. I see no
| benefits from XP SP2, as it is primarily designed to secure a home-based
PC,
| not proteced by a seperate industrial grade firewall.
|
| I would like to stop SBS trying to install this software, if at all
| possible. I have plans to progressively install the software anyway,
| manually when I can be sure that the system(s) concerned have been backed
up
| and they can be taken out of the production environment to have the time
| required spent on it. With MS forcing this upgrade upon my network, I
can be
| assured of neither. At the moment, I can only advise my users to refuse
any
| installs undertaken by the SBS system and this does not inspire
confidence in
| either me or the OS.
|
| [rant mode on]
| I find, as usual with a great deal about how Microsoft conducts its
| business, this aspect of its upgrade path fascistic and paternalistic. I
| know a great deal more about my network than they do, yet they feel they
can
| inflict upon me how I must maintain and upgrade it to some mythical
standard
| that they believe in. I wish for once those buggers would get out of
their
| ivory tower into the real world and see how much trouble their decisions
| cause.
