Hi!
I have a Windows 2K Server with the Now SMS/MMS Gateway application. Is there any process of certification for the application when Microsoft releases new patches or service packs?
Can any of these affect the application?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

I've upgraded several of my Windows XP systems running NowSMS to SP2, and I am not aware of any problems.

I also have another NowSMS server running Windows 2003 Server, and it was just updated last week or the week before to the latest security updates. I haven't noticed any problems with it either.

The primary potential issue with XP Service Pack 2 is the Windows Firewall which prompts you before programs make external accesses. I haven't noticed any issues with NowSMS running as a service, but if you experience a problem connecting to your SMSC, try disabling the Windows Firewall.
