Windows XP SP2 and FP 2003

[Mack 007]

I found something related to this problem on the net and applied. It seems
to be working now.

I ran this script from the c:\inetpub\adminscripts directory:

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM"

After running this, it accepted my user name and password. Seems to be
working.
I will post a new thread if another problem pops up!.

Thank you every one

From Microsoft (holds true to all service packs for all O/S)

"Microsoft Windows XP updates are distributed in service packs. Service
packs help keep Windows XP current, and extend and update the functionality
of your computer. Service packs are cumulative. Each new service pack
contains all the fixes that are included with earlier service packs and any
new fixes. You do not have to install an earlier version of a service pack
before you install the latest version"

Tom, sorry I disagree...

Service packs includes both performance and security updates. Some performance and security updates
are not available until you have installed a specific service pack or other update first.

Look at issue surrounding the FP2002 extensions updates, they must be installed in a specific order
to avoid problems, so why would installing Windows updates or Office updates be any different?

However I will stop here, as it is up to each individual to decide how they want to install service
packs and other updates.

I just know from experience, that installing all prior service packs and updates before installing
the latest one, works best for me, and I am just sharing that knowledge.

Yes, I read that (that statement has been around since NT days) and it is a contradiction to what is
being said on the page about what you need to know before installing SP2.

I think users would be better offer following the what you need to know page content.
