I am able to install sp4 using gp as stated below in the
message I posted to this news group. When you did the sp1
previously, did it seem to do them 1 at a time as I have
stated?
I am using the instructions in the
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...rvicepacks/sp4
spdeploy.htm to install sp4 using windows installer and
group policy. I have the sp4 update.msi file assigned to a
computer configuration software settings.
It is working when the pc's are turned on but it appears
to me that it is installing the sp on 1 pc at a time. I
started up 4 pc's at the same time with the assigned sp4
install and they all came up with the message that sp4 was
being installed. After 20 min the 1st pc I powered on
completed the install. After 40 min the 2nd pc powered on
completed the install.
