Service Pack Overview
Microsoft is committed to creating software solutions that enhance the security, reliability, and productivity of enterprise IT resources. In today’s business environment, IT security is paramount—businesses and consumers share an increasing amount of sensitive data and rely upon the communication of data for work and business.

Further, the reliability improvements resulting from a properly secured infrastructure adds to administrator productivity. Windows Server 2003 SP2 is a collection of updates and security enhancements to the Windows Server 2003 operating system that meets all three of these needs by addressing the primary challenge in ongoing customer security: update management.
