Well I was a beta tester for SP3 and lets just say it was a smooth ride and I hope this final is as good the betas. :)

Installed it on Windows 2000 Advanced server with exchange 5.5 sp4 and its working fine, no trouble starting up - no delays - excellent i say.
No problem on Exchange either.

The reason it isnt on the Microsoft website (Well it is but they have not officially announced that it has been released on public servers) is mainly because of time, it is like winamp when there is a new version it is available for a good 3 days before the winamp.com site updates, this is mainly because it takes time to setup everything like new pages, links, checking that the page works correctly (links etc) also as it is in multiple languages they are probably waiting for there localisation department to finish the final pages so they can do 1 release of several languages rather than do different release for each language (saving time and money)

Let face it this prob istn't going to be the last service park for 2000 but at least it's finally out. Lets hope it's on the microsoft site soon as I cant really download a 124MB download on a 56K internet connection.

I installed SP2 on Win 2K Server. After installing SP2, the server took FOREVER to boot up whenever I would reboot it. There was also a problem with the floppy drive. About every 5 minutes or so the floppy drive would act like it was looking for a disk (for no reason that I could see). I uninstalled SP2 and the server seems to be working with no problems after the uninstall. Also installed SP2 on my laptop which is running Win 2K Pro. Got a BSOD on the first reboot after install. Rebooted again and it came up OK. Laptop seems to be working with no problems now.

Very good works great sys more stable now tho i did flash my bios today too :-) I installed with the option to back up files...now i know it works is it safe to delete the backup folder it made??? cos it's taking up a load of space :-)

Installed the service pack, works flawlessly. Lots of security updates and adds full support for Ultra ATA/100. The people having problems installing are likely folks who have had corruption of their system files on their HDD before installing SP2, which can exacerbate the situation by rendering systems unbootable. Recommend running system file checkers, cleaners, and virus checks before installing.

There seem to be some confusion regarding this service pack:
This is the *first* Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000. There never was an "earlier" release. I'm not even sure this one is the final. I have yet to see an official statement from Microsoft.

Installed flawlessly on Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP-1; both on my work and home machines.

I haven't had time to install it yet but a couple of friends have and they had no problems either before or after.
As a side note: I had a look at that report about spyware and wouldn't you know it, the report is about the IE6 beta release. And at the end of the report the person stated that he wouldn't be surprised if MS includes it in all Service Packs from now on. There was not anything about Win2K SP2 including it at all!

Had to manually reinstall my SCSI CD-R drive after installing SP2. Other than that, seems to be cool.
