Can I uninstall Service Pack 2?

...being system admin really isn't too hard...

Hmm, LOL, yeah okay. Try creating an image with no security loops, locking down network shares, mapping drives, setting up home directories, having users authenticate via AD, OD, NDS, whatever! Then configure routers, switches, network printers, servers, RAID arrays, redundant back ups. On top of all that, work with a crappy OS with tons of security loop holes, I mean mapping drives in windows enviroment is completely not secure, and that is basic.

If you do your job as admin right the first time, it tends to run smooth, but it is far from easy. Espeically when a critical OS or app udpate kills something you need, or your email server decides to take big vomit and crash, and then your phone system is tied completely because everyone and their dog is calling you about their email.

Trust me, if this stuff didn't break or have problems I would be out of a job.

Okay, I'm trying REALLY hard not to sound like an asshole because I hate being disliked.
You must have misread what I just said. This is what I said...

...since the comps in both computer labs at school run quite stable, being system admin really isn't too hard...

I was talking about my specific situation (our lab comps run fine so being system admin isn't hard), you misread it as this general statement (being system admin isn't hard).
I wasn't trying to demean your position as a system admin but rather describe my position, I hope I didn't offend you.

no offense taken everyone makes mistakes and I mistook your post apparently. I am just saying there is a lot more to having it run smoothly 24/7 thats all.
