Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) delivers on Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing initiative and illustrates Microsoft’s commitment to continually creating software products with enhanced security, increased reliability, and simplified administration. Windows Server 2003 SP2 builds upon the impressive track record of the award-winning Windows Server 2003 operating system by introducing numerous refinements in addition to supplying cumulative system updates. Deploying SP2 will help enterprises across all industries and segments enhance security, increase reliability, and simplify administration through guided attack surface reduction.
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. While robust IT security is intrinsically valuable, a well-secured infrastructure can also improve server reliability to meet the ever increasing demands of commerce and industry. 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.
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 is available either as a standalone update for installation on an existing Windows Server 2003 server or as an integrated installation with the operating system. The integrated version of Windows Server 2003 SP2 ships with two CD’s; one containing Windows Server 2003 with SP1 integrated and the other containing the Windows Server 2003 Release 2 components. The standalone Service Pack 2 update is available as a download on Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update. Alternatively, the standalone update may be ordered on CD.
SP2 contains the latest collection of updates to help improve the security, reliability, and performance of the following operating systems:
-
Windows Server 2003 All Editions (32-bit x86)
-
Windows Server 2003 Itanium-based Editions
-

Note
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 supersedes Windows Server 2003 R2 (based on SP1) and should be installed on all to achieve the greatest levels of security and functionality. Windows Server 2003 R2 provides additional server functionality for simplified branch server management, improved identity and access management, and reduced storage management costs.
