On the face of it, there<br \/>are few changes made to the feature set of Windows 2003 by this service pack. It does appear to<br \/>hold to the promise made by Microsoft about making radical changes to the operating system in<br \/>service pack releases. There are some changes behind the scenes. But one big change that users<br \/>of RIS will notice is that their Remote Installation Services (RIS) deployment will be replaced by<br \/>something new called Windows Deployment Services. WDS has been introduced to facilitate the<br \/>deployment of Windows Vista. And something else is different too \u2026 this Service Pack 2 for<br \/>Windows Server 2003 is also intended to be the first service pack for Windows XP x64.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019ll go over the deploying the service pack and the changes made by it at a high level.
