Qn re: Mixing SP1 & SP2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics,microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment (More info?)

We have a smallish (11 machines) P2P network with ICS through one PC.

Are there any known problems, things to watch out for etc. if we take some
of these PCs to SP2 whilst leaving the others at SP1 ?

TIA
Eddy

Eddy,

No, there is no interaction that will brake between SP1 and SP2 machines.
However you must be aware of the implications of SP2 on your network as
regards the default settings of the firewall etc that may prevent some
machine to machine communication.
You should read up on what has changed and is new in SP2
