Service pack updates
Posted on 2009-07-13
I have a win2k03 blade server being used as a DNS server. It also serves to monitor the remaining 6 blades in a M1000e enclosure. So it rund CMC and EMC Software. It currently has SP1. I'm afraind to update to SP2 because as I remember from Win2000 server, this meant that certian things may have to be reinstalled. Does this still apply? Do I run the risk of overwriting my installations when I update my server.
Do you have info on how to set up a effective patch management system to keep my server secure?
This question also applies to the remaing blades which have RHEL 5.3. What is the effect of updating/patching on installed software?
Thanks
Pete

i don't see serious problems of updating W2K3 SP1 with SP2.
however, two things are *always* recommended: 1. read the doc, 2. make the backup.
please see the relevant MS official documentation below.

W2K SP2? not sure... anyway, W2K3 and W2K8 are the OS for today... :-))
hope it helps,
