Let me restate what I just read... Can we assume that NOT all patches and hotfixes released prior to the SP are included in the SP.
The "for the most part" kind of throws off what your intent I think may have been. However I think it makes it an accurate statement in that *not* all patches/hotfixes are guaranteed to be in there. I expect they try hard to get them all in but SPs are on their own test schedule and patch and hotfix development does not stop while an SP goes into beta and gets released. I would expect security patches would be the most likely item that could boogie through the process of dev/test/release during the time between final beta and release of an SP. Basically, don't assume any particular fix is in the SP, try to verify from the SP documentation. Barring that if you have the patch/hotfix binary info, look at that binary dates/versions and work from there noting however that there could be a regression issue so still test your assumption. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rocky Habeeb Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 4:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Another patching question Ladies and Gentlemen, Is it true that we can assume that [for the most part] >all< patches and >all< hotfixes released prior to the date of a major Service Pack >are< included in the Service Pack?
