Microsoft's Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 Rolls Out Trouble
By Timothy Dyck
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 was released earlier this month, consolidating more than a year of security patches and other bug fixes since Service Pack 2 shipped. It, along with related documentation, can be found at h**p//www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp3/default.asp.
SP3 includes the contents of Service Pack 1, Service Pack 2 and Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package Version 1, as well as many additional fixes. As such, it should be applied but only after appropriate testing.
The service pack introduces three components: Microsoft Corp.'s automatic update agent (which, if configured to apply updates automatically, will unfortunately also reboot machines automatically); Microsoft Installer 2.0; and a seriously ineffective tool to hide the presence of Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Media Player.
Please check it out and hope this helps some....
(at least make sure you turn off auto-updates)
