2005 SP1 Install to client?

Do I correctly assume that sp1 for sql 2005 should be installed (x86 version) to all clients? Will any problems result from not having clients at same release (sp1) level as the servers?

Is there any shred of information anywhere about how sp1 might affect/repair/modify the client tools?

Thanks,

I'm moving this thread to the data access forum, where you're more likely to get an official answer.

|||RTM clients will be OK connecting to SP1 servers. It's not a requirement to update clients but it's a good idea to update as soon as convenient. If you want to use client failover with a mirrored database then you really should update. If you encounter any client problems then you should definitely update to check if SP1 fixes the problem before looking for solutions elsewhere.
