From my experience Once you' ve installed SP3  you have to run windows
update so that you can get all the patches starting from when SP3 was
released.

Subject: MS Service Packs


All,

Has anyone had any luck decyphering what security
fixes are include in what MS service packs. For
example, if I apply SP3 to a W2K Server will this
patch all security issues found for the base OS up
until the release of SP3. What about IIS/SMTP/FTP, etc
fixes. Do I need to install these Qfixes and rollups
seperately? I've looked through the readme for the SP,
but it's not that clear. Hoping someone on the list
has tackled this and can shed some light. Many thanks.

Thad
