Our NAVCE seems to work fine on two installs of SP2 so far.  The only "problem" is that Windows can't detect that the anti-virus software is operating.

An interesting side note is that the new Windows Security Center behaves totally differently for domain computers than for non-domain computers.  On domain computers it kind of stays quietly in the background, and when you run it, it doesn't show the security status at all but instead just acts as a master menu for getting to some of the security-related settings.

On non-domain computers, the anti-virus "problem" causes the Security Center to show a red "flag" in the notification area, and when you click on it, it notifies you that although anti-virus software is installed, Windows cannot determine whether it is active or not.  (This same screen also shows you status information about the firewall and Automatic Updates that is not shown on a domain computer.)

We were actually very happy for the Security Center not to be so aggressive on domain computers.
