Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 RTM–Now available for all!

I am very happy to see that the final version of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is now available for everyone.  You can either wait for it to appear through Windows Update – or you can go and download it from here:

Some general pointers for people:

If you are updating from a beta or RC version of SP1 you will need to follow the guidance that I provided here (note that while this post is written for going from SP1 beta to SP1 RC, the same steps and caveats apply for beta to RTM or RC to RTM).

If you have not tried out SP1 yet – some good places to start are:

• The SP1 deployment guide
• The Dynamic Memory Configuration guide
• The RemoteFX guide

Cheers,
Ben

  Thanks Ben. Quick and painless on the hosts. Guests work fine as well. Just a note, dont run the upgrade on too many Guests at the same time as the IO will be hammered on the Storage !!! ( Lesson learned :) )

  Is there any chance Microsoft will allow XP machines to utilize the dynamic memory in the future?

  I just attempted to uninstall SP1 RC with ATI video card drivers installed. This causes my laptop to blue screen upon reboot and a revert from the uninstall attempt. I'm going to try to remove the ATI drivers first then remove SP1 and will report back. Hope this helps someone.
