The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL 2000 sp4 applied, but still shows sp3

Asked by okcuser in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , ,

I too am trying to install SQL 2000 sp4 on 2003 server (sp2).  

On the server, opening enterprise manager, I right click on Local database and select properties
console root
-->ms sql servers
---->sql server group
------>local

It shows product version 8.00.818 (SP3)

I have applied SQL 2000 sp4 multiple times w/o error (although it does seem to go quickly).  I've tried running it with the serice stopped, after rebooting, rebooting after, etc with no luck.  Still shows sp3.  

In ms kb article 321185 I found notes to check the versions

SELECT  SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
(run on master of local database instance)

returns
 8.00.818      SP3      Standard Edition


KB also said to check version of Sqlservr.exe file on server.

Search shows
c:\mssql7\binn\sqlservr.exe (version 2000.80.818.0)
c:\sql2ksp4\x86\binn\sqlservr.exe (version 2000.80.2039.0)
c:\mssql7\x86\binn\sqlservr.exe (version 2000.80.2039.0)


according to the kb .2039 is sp4 and the other is a form of sp3 with a patch installed.

I'm assuming that when I apply the sp4 it is not applying it to the right location.  The default when prompted is the
c:\sql2ksp4.  I ran it a second time and changed it to use c:\mssql7.  Still isn't showing correctly.

Please help me figure out how to apply sp4 correctly show it shows as applied.  I thought this was done a long time ago until a security audit flagged it as a risk.  

Thanks!
