I'm trying to remove a 128 bit encrypted SP on an NT 4 Workstation. Has anyone successfully conducted this, or any Technet info would be helpful.
Thanks.

Start, Settings, Control panel, add/remove programs. If you backed up the old service pack when you installed the new one you will be able to remove the new one. If you didn't back up the old one there is no way I know of to take it back except reinstall nt4 from scratch

I aasume you are talking about SP 6a since its 128 bit. No matter what SP level you are talking about unless you selected the option to backup original files during the current SP's installation you will not be able to unistall. You can run NT setupagain and choose the option to repair or just reinstall NT and select the option to leave the current file system intact.
