I've also found Belarc Advisor, free from http://belarc.com excellent for summarising what is, and is not, installed in terms of patches etc., on our 2003 Enterprise server George. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: 28 December 2008 14:04 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] WindowsServer2003-KB914961-SP2-x86 Hi, I take it it is the SP2 update you want to install? Check in the system properties, it will say whether you have SP2 installed or not. Do a right click on my computer and choose properties. OTOH you really should know which patches are installed on your servers. Is it you were doing auto updates from Microsoft Update until the error occurred? Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Stewart Hamling Sent: 26 December 2008 21:36 To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] WindowsServer2003-KB914961-SP2-x86 Hello All, Background to my enquiry I am attempting to setup a small home network comprising 4 PCs. Three of these PCs are running W XP professional, the fourth machine is running W Server 2003 with SP2. When attempting to update the server from Microsoft Windows update site, I receive error number 0x8024402C. I am considering installing WindowsServer2003-KB914961-SP2-x86, but I am not sure how to verify that it has not already been installed. I have looked under control panel add-remove programs, it does not appear there. Is there a more certain way to check whether or not this patch is already installed? Has anyone else installed this patch and have there been any adverse outcomes? Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Thank you and regards, Stewart. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
