Title: Install Order for Post SP6.0a rollup and IIS4.0 cumulative

Bruce:

 

I would say the recommended order would be just as you described.  However, if you are applying these hotfixes onto a Compaq server, I would read this first:

 

(from TechNet article Q299444)

Compaq Array Controller Users: If you have installed the Compaq Array Controller Driver (Cpqarray.sys) from the Compaq Web Site, Compaq FTP Site, or Compaq SmartStart, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base regarding Compaq Array controllers and the Windows NT 4.0 SRP:

 

Q305228 "STOP 0xA" Occurs After Applying Windows NT 4.0 Security Rollup Package

 

What I have done was use a utility that chains multiple hotfixes into one reboot -- the Qchain utility from MS.  If you want more information on that, look up article Q296861.

 

Regarding your last question (about Exchange & OWA), I don't have any answer to that.

 

Best of luck...

Subject: Install Order for Post SP6.0a rollup and IIS4.0 cumulative

Hi,

What is the recommended order in which to install the post SP6.0a security hotfix rollup and the IIS4.0/5.0 cumulative update?  I assume they should be installed in that order I just mentioned and that if a component is added/updated then the NT SP6.0a, SP6.0a hotfix rollup and the IIS cumulative updates should be installed again in that order.  Is that correct in your experience?

Also, one of our DC's (NT4.0 SP6.0a) has Exchange 5.5 (SP4) with OWA running on it.  Does the same install order still apply and do these hotfixes have any negative impact on Exchange from what you have seen?  I assume I'll have to stop all Exchange services beforehand.

Thanks,

Bruce
