RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: M$ Service Packs

Title: Message

The General rule of thumb is that anytime NT asks you for the original CD you need to re-apply the service pack.

The bad thing is that you probably need to re-apply all Post SP6a hotfixes (including IIS Nimda fixes, etc).

 

My suggestion: W2k. You can build a W2k CD and fuse the service packs into the original CD.

Make sure you use HFNetChk.exe

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: M$ Service Packs

I know that this is OT but does anyone know the correct rules for M$ Service Packs. I have an NT 4.0 box that has been running for awhile. Now I have to install a TCP/IP printer and the TCP/IP printer service is not already installed. My understanding is that after I install TCP/IP Print service from the original NT cd-rom, I'll have to reinstall service pack 6a and then all of the security and critical updates. Is this true?

 

Sandy? John? Scott?

 

Thanks and sorry for the OT.
