Where is the blocker tool used to keep Windows XP SP2 as far away as
possible? According to the latest Windows Platform eMails, "Windows Server
2003 Service Pack 1 will be posted to Automatic Updates (AU) on July 26. To
assist customers who want to block SP1 until their deployment plans are
finalized, a blocker tool (similar to that offered for Windows XP SP2) is
available."

George;
The tool for Windows XP SP-2 expired a while ago.
Similar to the tool for Windows Server 2003, the tool had a limited life to
give organisations additional time to prepare for SP-2.

Expired.

Remedy your issues with SP2 or set your updates to manual.
You have until late 2006 - when SP1'd XP installs will no longer be
supported.
