Id do some testing before you approve SP3 update. There has been some postings on various lists about the endless reboots and XP SP3 crashing the systems.

I have it listed there now, but the approval is Detect Only at the moment. Would like to know how that avenue went/is going for some others before I approve the update.

They use Windows Updates nightly and when they rebooted their machine it wouldn't come up. After many SafeMode boots I called TechSupport and they told me there is an issue with the WindowsUpdate version of SP3 and to have it blocked from being downloaded on any other machine until it is resolved. They seemed to know all about it because they stepped me through the correct SafeMode fix for it. Didn't know what anybody else knew. Good night. IT works, but keeping IT working is the hard part.
