Microsoft reminds users of auto SP2 update deadline
CRN.com | at | by Mike
Microsoft has begun reminding users who last year blocked the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 that a deadline is fast approaching. On April 12, all blocking mechanisms will expire and Windows XP and XP SP1 systems will automatically download and update to SP2.
"The intent of this alert is to provide you with a reminder about the upcoming deadline around the date on which Automatic Update and Windows Update will deliver Windows XP SP2 regardless of the presence of the blocking mechanism," said Microsoft.
