Jan,
One thing to keep in mind, SBS is a "dummied" up version of Windows 2003 and
other products combined together at lower prices for obviously small
businesses. By "dummied" up I mean they've added all these wizards,
trincates to allow more people without much IT experience to use it.
The flip side for IT consultant's is the features which are meant to make
the product easier to use mean more things for us to figure out when
something doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Or in these situations,
have to do things that we would tackle a different way. Sure you are
responsible and have patch management avenues setup for your clients, but not
everybody using Small Business Server is that saavy.
In that note, you don't have to run the client Deploy, if you downloaded and
installed XP SP 2 then you should have it in the environment and you can just
expand it into a directory under client apps, run the two hotfixes mentioned
in the install docs and your done.
In closing, for the users this product is designed for I'm sure they want to
force this to make sure it's on these small businesses' networks and by
forcing them to have it available on the server, they are making light of it
to users who would never otherwise give SP 2 a thought.
