Three (rare, but) Sticky Situations with W2003 SP2 Upgrade

Microsoft released Knowledgebase article 932600 yesterday which outlines three situations in which the Service Pack 2 upgrade might not be a good idea. In the following scenarios, you must not install Windows Server 2003 SP2. Or, you must remove Windows Server 2003 SP2 until the upgrade or migration is finished:

• You upgrade from an evaluation copy of Windows Small Business Server 2003 to the full retail version.
• You upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to the full retail version of Windows Small Business Server 2003.
• You migrate to Windows Server 2003 from Windows Small Business Server by using the Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Transition Pack.
