Service Pack 2 includes all public updates, security updates, cumulative updates, and hotfixes that were released through February 2009. It is recommended that you have 5x to 6x the size of the package free to have a successful deployment; this has increased from the requirements needed for SP1.
Service Pack 2 has some areas of improvement. These include:
IE 8 is now a Level 1 supported browser
Mozilla Firefox V2 and V3 have been added to the Level 2 supported browser list
SSP databases are no longer deleted when running the following command:
Stsadm –o deletessp –title <SSPTitle> -force
Stsad, -o migrateuser is improved when migrating from one user to another user who has been deleted from the SharePoint site
Improved error messages and permissions handling in the Business Data Catalog
The Profile Change Cleanup job should no longer cause the transaction logs to grow to a large size
Long URLs are now logged correctly by Usage Analysis
A sub-site owner who has no permissions to the top level Team Site is able to make sub-sites under his own site
Search stability and speed is improved
Forms-Based Authentication search is now supported by search.asmx
You can reinitialize a query server for only 1 SSP so that you have zero search downtime:
Stsadm –o osearch –reprovisionindex –ssp <sspname>
Backup and restore of search has improved
If a crawl is stopped, the next crawl will be forced to do a full crawl even if an incremental crawl is set
