No, not really. Up to the close date for inclusion INTO a SP (and there are
LOTS of factors that affect what does and doesn't make the SP) will be in
the SP.

If we assume that the close date for a given SP is D\M\YYYY, and the SP is
SPx, then any patch released after the date is either post SPx, or pre-SPy.

However, complicate this with the Rollups. Yes, those rollups are integral
SPs, as the contents are patches that have been released up to some point.

Add to this the Rollups that are product (say, IIS) specific.....

Sound confusing?  Yes - to some degree, you need a scorecard to keep up with
it.

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?

Thanks.

RH
