Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Move from SP1 to Windows Service Pack 2?

Hello,
Our hosting system is:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
or
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
on which we have a Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.3.0
running.
Now our IT is demanding the Windows Service Pack 2 to be installed on the server.
Are there known issues or can this be done (about 30 patches) without any considerations?
Thanks,
Marco

Oracle's general policy is:
Oracle certifies against the specific Microsoft operating system (OS) and, if applicable, service packs (SPs) stated in the Oracle product documentation. Oracle will support the use of our products on any later SP or OS security patch as soon as that SP or patch becomes generally available. Depending upon the severity, quantity, and impact of the SP or patch-related issues found, Oracle may recommend that customers wait until relevant Oracle patches have been released before upgrading to a particular SP or OS patch. Oracle may recommend or discourage the installation of specific SPs or patches if it will significantly affect the operation of Oracle software, either positively or negatively. If such a statement is deemed necessary, then Oracle Development will disseminate this statement in as timely a fashion as possible after the release of the SP or patch.
There are no known issues with ServicePack 2.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
I already tried the following scenarios:
1- Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
Link to script:

Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
Might I suggest the following:
Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
Cumulative Security Update.
Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 8 Compatibility

Is there a fix or workaround for accessing email via Outlook 2013 (Windows 8) when your company uses Microsoft exchange server 2003 and has not plans on upgrading it any time soon. I am a remote employee so I am the only one that has this problem in the
company. I can access email through an owa account but it's a pain. I tried to set up a rule to have all incoming mail forwarded to my gmail account in Outlook 2013, but that did not work. Any other ideas?

If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.

How to clone Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 configurations from one server to another server?

Hi! I need help of cloning Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 configurations from my first Server to the second Server. By doing this, the second Server will replace and run as per normal as the first Server is. How can this be done?
Thanks!

Cloning an Exchange Server is a very bad idea. Exchange is very heavily intergrated into Active Directory and this can (and honestly not to sound scary probably will) cause major issues in your environment.
Also, since you cannot have 2 servers with the same name in the same domain/network running at the same time you'll need to change the name of one of the servers. That is a huge no-no with Exchange and requires a complete uninstall/reinstall of the
product.
Now requirements differ between environments, but if you are in a scenario where you want to move from 1 Exchange 2013 (or 2010 for that matter) Server to another machine running the same version of Exchange AND (this is a big requirement for the failover
cluster piece) the Operating Systems of the machines are the same (i.e going 2012r1 to 2012r1 or 2012r2 to 2012r2 and not 2012r1 to 2012r2) you can do what Brenle suggested with the DAG and DB copies. If the Operating System of the new machine is different
(2012r1 to 2012r2) then you will will not be able to use a DAG, and will need to perform mailbox moves to move between servers.

ISE Posture Condition for Windows Service Pack and Remediation

Hi,
We having ISE ver 1.1.1 and currently on PoC. I have the following points to be clarified for Posture and Remediation.
1) How to configure a condition to check Windows Service pack (may be more than 1 Windows favor such as XP, Win 7 and Win 8) and how to remediate in case client is not complying with Windows requirement.
2) I configure AV condition and looks its working fine, however I still couldnt find the place to how to remediate in case client is not having proper verion and AV definition on his PC.
3) We have a Authorization profile configured with dACL"Posture Remediation" where we allowing AV server update url and also matching ACL configured on switch "Posture Redirect", wants to know the exact purpose on these two ACLs.
4) where can we see the logs of none-complaints logs and find out the reason for non-complaints
appreciate if someone can please give us a proper document to achive the above task or send me any working senario configuration steps.
thanks in advance.

1. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) remediation remediates Windows clients from a locally managed WSUS server, or Microsoft-managed WSUS server with the latest Windows service packs, hotfixes, and patches (WSUS updates) for compliance. You can create a WSUS remediation where a NAC Agent integrates with the local WSUS Agent to check whether the endpoint is up-to-date for WSUS updates. You can also duplicate, edit or delete WSUS remediations from the remediations list.
You can configure Windows clients to receive the latest WSUS updates from a Microsoft-managed WSUS server, or locally administered WSUS server for compliance.
The Windows server update services (WSUS) remediations list page displays all the WSUS remediations along with their names, description, and as well as their modes of remediation

Getting Windows Service Pack

Is there a way to programmatically get the service pack for the operating system?
I know System.getProperty("os.version") will give me the operating system version, but I don't see a property that holds the service pack. It looks like I may only be able to get the service pack by creating a DLL with a function that gets the Service Pack and then call out to that DLL from Java. Is that correct? Thanks.

You can retrieve Windows Service Pack using System.getProperty ("sun.os.patch.level"). In my Windows 2003 SP 1 and JDK 5.0:
os.name = "Windows 2003"
sun.os.patch.level = "Service Pack 1"

Airport extreme with windows service pack 2

I have just recently bought a macbook pro laptop, & have been corresponding with a forum member about a wireless setup.
I want to have a wireless set up with a PC desktop with windows xp home service pack 2 that is stationed in the kitchen. This was recommended to me in this forum. Right now the PC has an Ethernet black box, with at&t DSL service. It has one yellow Ethernet cable coming from the black box to the PC & one grey DSL cord coming out of the black box & connects to a phone in the kitchen. I bought the laptop for my online classes so steady reliable internet service is crucial. Upon reading the specs of the airport extreme however got me a little concerned about which service pack I can use.
Here is my question & comment from another member on this forum;
I just noticed a PC has to have windows service pack 3, I have service pack 2, will it work with service pack 2? I am reluctant to update to service pack 3, my story behind my reluctance; the last time I did it, my PC completely crashed, the hard drive died. It had to be replaced, & ever since I get a little yellow alert to update to service pack 3, but I have not done it out of fear of another meltdown. Right now it is the only computer in our house, & I need it for my online classes. Last summer when I tried the service pack 3 update, & subsequent PC meltdown, I had to go to a public computer lab to finish off an online class, so I do not want to go through this again.
And this is what they said;
+That will give you wired internet access at the PC. Of course, the MacBook Pro will be wireless. I am not sure about the technical specifications required for the Airport. My initial reaction is that you should be fine to use the Airport as just a router with the PC with Service Pack 2. I think SP3 is just required for administration of the Airport using the Airport Utility for Windows. But, you could administer the Airport with your MBP. You may want to confirm this in the Airport forum unless somebody else here knows for sure! Sorry!+

Which would be more powerful & reliable? the newest airport extreme or the aiport with the 500GB time capsule?
Again, it will depend on what your networking requirements are. If we are talking about support for Time Machine backups, then only the Time Capsule (of the two options you listed) would work. Apple doesn't currently support these backups to drives attached to the AirPort Extreme Base Station.
Would I be better off with something that is just for wireless internet? or a combo unit time capsule & airport?
If you don't have any networking gear now, then it may make better sense to go with a combination unit.

Every time I try to install windows service pack 2 I get error message WindowsUpdate_80004005

When I try to install windows service pack 2 I get error message WindowsUpdate_80004005, has anyone else had this problem and how do you fix it

If you have an external drive (USB thumbdrive or hard disk) connected, disconnect it and try the service pack installation again.

Can't upgrade I tunes because of problems with Windows Service Pack 2

My daughter and I got shuffles for Christmas. I am unable to upgrade to the necessary version of I tunes because I do not have SP2. When I try to download the windows service pack 2 my computer crashes. Any suggestions? Are there any ways around this?

Hi there
It could be that this particular file has some corruption. It could also simply be that the number of objects in the file is somewhat taxing your PC resources.
You might try what is outlined in the link below and see if it helps anything.

ITunes stopped working after Windows Service Pack 2

Maybe it's a coincidence, but I've been having all sorts of problems loading the latest iTunes version (64-bit) ever since I downloaded (not by choice) WIndows Service Pack 2.
iTunes just won't open.
First it would open and say that the color scheme had been changed by some setting somewhere.
Then it wouldn't open at all.
I've fooled around with permissions and compatibility settings -- I've reinstalled the latest iTunes for WIndows 64-bit -- and iTunes just will not load.
I've seen some evidence online that I'm not alone in this problem, though it's hard to tell. The solutions I've seen seem to be a bit complicated -- does anyone have any information on this problem or am I going to have to go back to an Apple computer if I want to continue using iTunes???
Thanks for any help.
B
PS For now I've got to leave on a 4 -hour trip for which I'll have no music thanks to this problem -- so any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Roll back the service pack.(uninstall software through control panel.) Does it work again?
Reinstall service pack. Make sure antivirus and all other software is not running in background. Reboot.

Unable To Install Windows Service Pack 3

Hi,
I just reinstalled windows xp (32bit)for the 3 time in as many months, and I've ran into a problem with the reinstallion Windows Service Pack 3. I keep getting an error that says something to the effect of 'file x can not be found. are you sure (windows dl location) is correct. would you like to retry.' and this repeats a few times until I lose my patience and give up. Anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex,
maybe this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3841 can help you.
Also if you have any kind of 'unneccessary' external devices connected while trying to update, like external harddisks, printer, scanner, etc., disconnect them before applying the update.
Hope it helps
