Mike:

The below document discusses a few, for example:

1. Support for Microsoft NAP (network access protection)
2. Updated support for WPA2
3. RDP 6.1 (supports TLS)
4. More descriptive text for security-related control panel options
5. SHA2 support for X.509 and FIPS 140-2 support for cryptographic modules
6. Tool to simplify creation of IPSec policies

Is there any security enhancements in Service Pack 3?  Does anyone have any
articles that would describe these security enhancements?  We have been
testing also.

I've been doing a test deployment to our lab computers this summer. So far
it has worked without incident.

      What's the consensus on SP3?  Are you still testing, deploying it on
new systems only,  holding off on wide deployment or have approved it in
your WSUS and most of your systems are running it?
