Windows Server 2003 SP2 to be 'pushed' on patch Tuesday
ENT News | at | by Mike
The next "Patch Tuesday" will also be "Upgrade Tuesday" for admins, as Microsoft releases Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 through Automatic Updates.
SP2 has been out since March 13, which was also a Patch Tuesday. Patch Tuesday is when Microsoft releases security patches for all its products. It's always the second Tuesday of each month. This is the first time, however, it will automatically be pushed to users.
That doesn't mean it will be automatically installed, however. Admins will still have to go through the standard process of accepting the End-User License Agreement and go through the Welcome screen before installation begins, according to a notice on the Windows Server Division blog. Admins also have the option of blocking the update through a toolkit specifically released for blocking the SP2 update.
