Windows XP SP3 went RTM today. It will be available to the public on April 29th. For ConfigMgr the biggest piece of this is that now you can use NAP on your XP clients as well. There is also a rumored 10% increase in performance - YMMV.

Find out exactly what will be included when this link goes active in the next 24 hours or so.

Bits to Install ConfigMgr Client on XP Embedded

Posted on February 18th, 2008 by Anthony Clendenen.

Overview

With the ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client pre-requisites macro component for Windows XP Embedded, you can use ConfigMgr 2007 to manage hardware devices that are running the Windows XP Embedded operating system. These devices include, but are not restricted to, point of sale (POS) terminals, automated teller machines (ATMs) and Windows-based thin clients.

Purpose

Windows XP Embedded is the operating system and development platform that delivers the power of Windows in a componentized form for reliable and advanced embedded devices. Based on Windows XP Professional technology, Windows XP Embedded enables developers to select only the features they need to build customized, reduced-footprint software for embedded devices.
The ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client pre-requisites macro component for Windows XP Embedded installs components that support the ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client. This means you can manage Windows XP Embedded clients in the same way as you manage your desktops and servers running ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client.

Download Contents

The ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client Prerequisites macro component for Windows XP Embedded will install the software necessary for installing the same ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client that installs on Windows XP Professional, together with the updates needed to successfully run the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates. After you have installed an image created with this component, you will need to deploy the ConfigMgr 2007 Advanced Client separately.
