IIS Service when installing service pack 2 on Server 2003

[Guest CCL IT]

Hello,

 

We are wanting to install service pack 2 on one of our Windows Server 2003

machines which is running IIS6.0 and we need to know if this will stop the

service during the period of the install. We understand it will need to stop

on a reboot but will it stop during the complete installation of Service Pack

2.

 

Thanks for responses in advance.

I do not know the answer, however:

If you have a test server, even on a Virtual Machine, you can quiet easily

test it.

 

In any case, before you apply a service pack to a production host, you

should test it on a test server as a best practice.

 

Rgds,

Edwin.

hello,

 

that is what we would normally do, but we are actually using our test server

at present as a live server due to issues with the live server, we have been

told to install sp2 on the live server but the main link page is still active

on the live server directing the traffic to the dev server. So if we lose IIS

on the live we will lose main link to the dev from the live.
