W2K SP3 release date :(

Just learned yesterday, SP3 for W2K is scheduled for release 10 June 2002.

Looks like I'll have to take a serious look at all the post-SP2 hotfixes.

Those are already in test, and getting packaged for roll-out.

I was thinking more about the password replication probs (and fixes) and a number of other ones that will fix a number of other problems we're having...DFS, AD Replication in general, SID resolution, etc.
