Reapplying updates

[Guest Andrew]

I remeber reading something about this 4 or 5 years ago and just need some

refreshing!

 

I have a Windows 2000 server all up to date (SP4 etc). I want to now install

IIS using the original Windows 2000 CD which does not include any services

packs, how do I know what updates I need to apply afterwards.

 

If re-apply SP4 that would over-write any updates I had done after

originally applying SP4 thus requiring me to perform all those updates again?

 

Would it be enough to run SP4 then check the windows update web site, or

would I need to manually re-apply all updates since SP4.

 

Also in general, if I am required to pull files from a Windows 2000 CD that

has no Service Packs included am I required to reapply SP4 (and the rest)

every time?

Hello Andrew,

 

Just install IIS and normally during the install you will be asked for the

2000 disk or the needed SP. Reapplying patches is not needed since windows

2000.
