MSCA Self-Paced

Hello folks

I've got the 2nd edition "Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003....." by Holme and Thomas which is based around Server 2003 SP1. It's installed without a hitch. However, if I allow automatic update to update, it wants to install SP2.

Will the install of SP2 have any effect on my preparation for the exam?

If you have an answer for this, (...please don't think I'm being awkward) can you support it from an official source? I wouldn't want the inconvenience of a re-install if SP2 does have an impact on my working on 70-290 exam preparation.

I'd be grateful for your advice

I finished my MCSA back in July and it didn't matter to me. My network was an old desktop with 2003 SP1 and a new laptop with Vista.
