RE: MS Service Packs

'Out of the box', the service packs will automatically update anything
already installed on the system.  The patches will be up to the date that
the SP came out.

Hope this helps.

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
