Service Pack - Event Viewer ID?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

If a service pack or other type of update is installed on a Windows 2k3

server, which log would the event be recorded? Which event number would it

might be or which source name would be given?

 

I am trying to discover when an update was installed.

 

thanks,

 

Jim

Some things to look for...

 

In the System Log ---

Source: NtServicePack

Event: 4371, 4377

 

You might want to check the settings for your automatic updates in Control

Panel. If you see "SYSTEM" as the User this is part of the automatic

updates, otherwise you will see the actual User Account that installed the

update/patch (as well as the date, time, etc.).
