Hello,

Thanks for the info, I have viewed

1)  "Release Notes for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2"
2)  "SP2 Readme"
3)  "Windows Server 2003 & Windows XP x64 SP2 Overview"

But alas, I am still confused :(

Our ISA 2004 is only ISA 2004 Standard SP1 (running on Win2k3 Standard SP1)
with no ADAM listed in the "Add/Remove Windows Components"  Another 2003 R2
Server does contain ADAM listed, but the check box is *not* checked.  This
all leads me to believe that we are not using ADAM anywhere on the Domain.

Question:  Is installing ADAM SP1 still necessary prior to installing 2003
SP2, in our scenerario?

Under, "Preventing the issue" it mentions to update ADAM to SP1.  This does
not apply to us since we are not using ADAM correct?  =)  If we wanted to
use ADAM in the future after 2003 SP2 is deployed, is uninstalling 2003 SP2
then necessary? -- As mentioned under "Correcting the issue"  Therefore is
it advisable to install ADAM/ADAM SP1 to avoid having to uninstall 2003 SP2
in the future?  Even though we are not using ADAM, but may in the future?

Thanks for any input!
Edgardo

For those of you who are considering deployment of Windows 2003 Sp2 on
your ISA 2004 or 2006 CSS server, you better be reading the SP2 relnotes
(you better be doing it anyway, yanumpty).
The short story is this:
If you install WS03 SP2 over ADAM RTM (as is delivered in ISA 2004 &
2006 for WS03 RTM & SP1), you will break ADAM.  This does not occur if
your ADAM instance was installed as part of WSo3 R2.  Otherwise, you
*MUST* get and install ADAM SP1 before installing WS03 SP2.

You can get ADAM SP1 (already part of WS03 R2) here:

Ain't life grand?
