System File Checker

[Guest Icarus - iD_Ten_T helper]

Hi,

 

If I run the sfc command on a Win2K server (SBS) and it needs the CD,

will I need to re-install SP4 again afterwards as it restores the old

versions of the all the files? does SFC only keep track of the

originally installed files?

You need to create a new CD with the SP4 changes incorporated and use it when

running SFC.

 

Here's an excellent utility to perform the slipstreaming of SP4:

Here's a how-to for WinXP for reference:

Point it (SFC) to the SP4 I386 directory for the setup directory, it

will get the files from that directory instead of the CD.

More information can be found in the search results here:

Post SP4 hotfixes may need to be reapplied.
