Umm... XP SP2 isn't covered in the 2004 version. Installing SP2 can mean changes to certain settings.

 

As stated above the sybex book does not cover SP2. The MCDST exams have many questions related to changed settings and security in SP2.
I'm not saying you need to restudy by any means. Just know what SP2 brought to the table, such as windows firewall, and pop up blocker.

 

which books cover sp2?

or have sybex done a newer book since?

Cheers

I have the MS press books for both MCDST exams and they cover SP2 and come with a free trial of Windows xp pro SP2.

 

They've done a 2006 version, I believe.
