First I never trust my servers to Windows Update! Instead I go to www.microsoft.com/technet/security from this page select "Hotfix and Security Bulletins Search" This will bring you to a search page where you can select the product (Widnows 2000 Server) and Service pack level. The search will bring up any available hotfixes. Denny

So I assume once installing SP3 and doing Windows Update, you should have everything. -----Original Message----- From: phil groner [mailto:labodentnga () qc aira com] Sent: 19 June 2003 06:48 To: Thad Horak; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: MS Service Packs 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thad Horak" <thadhorak () yahoo com> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 11:59 AM Subject: MS Service PacksAll, 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.
