Part of my job is to keep 2000 windows PCs and servers up and running on a
corporate network. I'm a bit discouraged by the fact that Windows firewall
will be enabled and messenger service will be disabled after this service
pack. I don't want the first, and I use the second. This will likely mean I
will have to script the service pack install, and then script a follow up
job to undo some of its settings after the reboot. Makes it twice as hard
for me to deploy. Oh well.
