What testing should customers do to validate the Windows Service Pack delivery-disabling technology Microsoft is making available before using it?
A. The detection engine in Windows Update uses the presence of this registry key to indicate to the Windows Update client software that the Service Pack does not apply to the system. Because the delivery-disabling mechanisms being provided by Microsoft rely on a registry key that is used only for purpose of disabling and re-enabling delivery of a Windows Service Pack, there should be no additional impact or side effect on the system. No additional testing should be necessary to validate the mechanism.
