When you've been up and working late for several weeks, late at night is a dangerous time to be posting...

One of the most interesting things about Windows Server 2003 SP1 is the security configuration wizard. Running it is an education in itself. However, in the readme, it references SBS and directs you not to run the security configuration wizard if you have SBS. SBS is apparently already hardened and the SBS wizards take the place of the Win SP1 security configuration wizard. Another heads up and all the more reason to pay close attention before you go applying SBS SP1.

Dell OpenManage and SP1

Dell has already reported a problem with the OpenManage server management software (currently 4.3) and SP1. I just brought up our old Dell PE1500 as a member server with 2K3 and had to take note of that. (

Dell promises OpenManage 4.4 will be compatible with SP1 and come "in late May". Both our servers (the old and the new 1800 that runs SBS) need to be updated.
