FlishFun Veteran Posted December 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 21, 2003 i have a question,why does ap 2000 need sp4?can't sp3 be used because i've had problems with sp4 like slowdowns n errors i know sp3 is a bit older Well, it's just because SP4 is the newest, that's all.

=Indy-UK= Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I know you have said that autopatcher needs sp4 installed, but is it absolutely neccessary? Most of the critical patches can be run on a minimum of SP2. Its would seem its the same patch for SP2 ,3 or 4 in Win 2k. It would be nice for autopatcher to be able to run on SP2 as a minimum. (for critical patches at least) Btw, great work ppl. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpugeniusmv Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 the objective of AP is to have completely up to date systems... is there any reason not to have all the patches? and if it's because "it slows your system down" that is absolutely incorrect.

soldier1st Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 it changes things like network settings n stuff like that i know it's newer than sp3 but sp3 is stable,sp4 ain't so stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpugeniusmv Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 i think it would be wise to make a poll to find out the opinions of those who would be using AP2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptiPlex Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 If SP4 is unstable on your computer, then you may have problems with the hardware. Many people find SP4 stable so I don't know what you are talking about... "changes network settings"? Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I beta tested it (SP4) and the few errors I had were all fixed, so I'm kinda curious what it does to everyone's systems so that they don't like it.

soldier1st Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 a poll sounds like a good idea also it was ntoskrnl.exe that kept giving me problems n forced me to reformat a few times(network install of sp4,i don't use the express installs) that ntoskrnl.exe is part of sp4 and the other service packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlishFun Veteran Posted January 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 5, 2004 Okay guys, I have a question for you (anyone willing to try, let me know what you find)... If you install a Windows Server (or Advanced Server) patch on a Windows 2000 Pro install and install it silently.... will it actually install? Or will it just quit. And either way, will it bring up dialog? I have an idea, but I sorta need to know first. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Server-only patches are separate. If you are really desparate for a definitive answer, I'll put my 3-in-1 into good use and see what happens :o arrr me is a software pirate, avast we swab!
