On March 30th 2005, Microsoft released Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1.  With the introduction of this release, NetIQ Corporation has received a number of customer inquiries regarding when NetIQ Security Manager will support Windows 2003 Service Pack 1. 

NetIQ has investigated the situation and evaluated that when the Windows firewall is not enabled on any of the components, customers should find no significant issues with running NetIQ Security Manager against Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1.
