Yep, and if you allow windows automatic updates, you'll be notified of any
new patches as and when they are available.  This can be set to download and
install automatically, though from experience I would strongly advise to set
to review before installing.

Well as far as I know, once you visit windows update, it will only have you
install patches that you don't have installed. So I assume once installing
SP3 and doing Windows Update, you should have everything.

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.

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
