[NTLUG:Discuss] [Off topic] Windows 2000 SP1

[Chris Cox]

Please limit the thread on this (I guess that's asking for it!).

I decided to post this just because we lost an NT server when it
"blue screened" and then refused to recongnize the boot sector
of its disk.  Hardware problem?  Nope.  Enough said.

However, I did read something interesting, here I've quoted from the
MS website:

Did you catch all that?  I know that there are some hard to install Linux packages out
there,
and sometimes there are hard patches for things, but not too much like this.
In summary, if you use Terminal Server and want SP1, uninstall Terminal Server, then
reinstall it from a server which has already been upgraded to SP1 (the implications
are left to the reader).

Very sad,
Chris
