Unfortunately, I've not been able to convince them so far that this problem
is extremely serious and warrants an immediate fix---from my perspective they
have disabled 100% of the MS 2003 Access copies in use with service pack 2 if
deployed through an Active Directory GPO. If I were in their position, I'd
be working overtime to solve this problem.

I Agree, it's a major fault and it doesn't look like MS did any QA on
deployment of SP2 through Admin installs.

I'm going to raise a bug report on Monday and get it escalated. In the
meantime, I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong with the package, to speed
the process up.

The problem with MS is that they only tend to fix issues when enough people
complain, so if anyone else is having the same problem, log a fault with MS.
