Temporarily Blocking Windows XP SP2 delivery through Windows Updat

[OSA]

Anybody have any ideas on how this will work with Group Policy!! in a domain?

Better hurry.

Time is running out! Please note that the mechanism to temporarily disable
delivery of Windows XP SP2 is only available for a period of 240 days (8
months) from August 16, 2004. At the end of this period (after April 12,
2005), Windows XP SP2 will be delivered to all Windows XP and Windows XP
Service Pack 1 systems.

Q. Will the 240 day time period be based on the RTM of each individual
language edition?

A. No. The 240 day time period is based on August 16th for all language
editions. AU and WU will ignore the registry setting on April 12, 2005 for
all language editions and allow installation of SP2.
