[THIN] Re: Windows 2000 and MetaFrame XPe FR3 - Are you on SP3 or SP4 for W2k?


Thanks for your input. Are you saying that MFXP Servers that are on SP3 and then bumped to SP4 will be more probelmatic then? As you said as long as you apply MFXP SP3 AFTER SP4.

The HotFixes that I have been applying Post SP3 are a short list but slightly longer than the Post SP4 List you deploy. For those interested here is what I apply. I have to actually clean up the list a bit as two of the Q Articles below actually install the same files, and 1 is actually deployed through Windows Update and does not need to be 'redeployed'. I basically just need to clean up my VBS Script that I use to apply MF and MS Hotfixes.

Hi..

As long as you apply MFXP SP3 after SP4, you should be okay.

That being said, I use the following post SP4 hotfixes everywhere:

MS03-023\KB823559
MS03-039\KB824146
MS03-041\KB823182
MS03-042\KB826232
MS03-043\KB828035
MS03-049\KB828749
MS04-007\KB828028

Subject: [THIN] Windows 2000 and MetaFrame XPe FR3 - Are you on SP3 or
SP4 for W2k?

Quick Poll:

Those of you still on Windows 2000 and MetaFrame XPe FR3, have you
bumped up
to SP4 from SP3?

Currently I'm still on SP3 and key Microsoft HotFixes (All Security
Fixes
from Windows Update as well).

I know in the past SP4 had a whole list of new issues to deal with.
Have
you applied SP4?  What Hotfixes do you commonly use?

Thanks,

ThinFan
