ADPREP Question

Do I need to run ADPrep before installing Service Pack 1 on my Windows 2003
Server domain controllers, or can I just upgrade each server as is? I know
that I will have to do this before installing R2, but is it neccesary for
Service Pack 1?

Thanks.

You don't have to run adprep before SP1
