OT Win2k Server Service Packs

All my Windows 2000 Servers and workstations are on SP 3
I have received numerous articles telling of problems with SP4 and I
do not plan on installing it until all the bugs are worked out

Here is one such article



Service Pack 4 Problems?

Anybody out there old enough to remember NT4 SP6 (or was it 6a)?"

He's got a point, as Jeff Donze just wrote: "We just installed SP4 on
several development servers with IIS and it appears to have changed
the Relay Restrictions on all of them. I'm not sure exactly what the
settings were before we installed SP4, but it changed something
because the web sites stopped sending mail. It was easy enough to
correct the problem via MMC. Just thought you might like know ;)".

Good morning all.

I have a problem with my 2000 server that runs our Terminal Services for
Vantage. I've been told I can fix my problem by patching the server to
service pack 3. Has any body else done this and does it raise any
compatibility issues with Vantage/Progress?

Thanks

Our terminal server is running Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 with no problems.
Progress is installed locally on the TS and apart from the occasional
ActiveX registration problem that we've always had everything runs smoothly.

We have been on SP3 for some time with no problems. In fact, SP3 did fix
some Terminal Server Lic issues.

Just to let you all know, if you're looking at the Win2K service packs ...
SP4 is out right now ... I am currently running it on our terminal server
and so far have had no problems, in fact it "supposedly" fixes a lot of
issues with terminal services and connections.

However, I got an article yesterday stating problems with SP4 and IIS
settings (changing settings and causing IIS non-functional). 6 Hot fixes
have "supposedly" been released to resolve these issues, however, I have not
seen any of them as of yet. People are thinking that Microsoft will release
SP4a like they did when they screwed up the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6
and came out with 6a.

So just to warn everyone, be cautious about installing SP4 on Windows 2000.
It may or may not have problems, I would give it a couple months first as it
was just released a couple weeks ago. If I run into any issues with it here,
I will inform the group.
