>Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) introduces a set of
>security technologies that improve the ability of Windows XP systems
>to withstand malicious attacks, and provides the IT administrator
>with system wide security configuration capabilities.
>
>SP2 is more secure by default, and thus automatically provides
>Windows XP systems with improved protection. However, because system
>security becomes more restrictive upon initial installation, SP2 may
>also expose application compatibility issues. It is important that
>an investigation into possible application compatibility issues
>takes place prior to full deployment.
>
>This guidance discusses the security technologies, an application
>testing process, incompatibility symptoms, mitigation techniques,
>and deployment scenarios. It makes no assumption about the size or
>complexity of the network, and is as relevant to peer-to-peer
>environments as it is to Active Directory environments.
