Mode for installing patches

I have a Windows 2000 server with terminal services
running in application mode. When I am installing
Microsoft patches on this server - do I need to put the
server in to install mode?

I just installed a bunch of patches with HFNetchek and I
did not put the server in to install mode. Does HFNetchk
accomodate this for terminal server patch installs?

Thanks for any info.

JT

For most installs, you should install things in
installation mode. However, some installations don't
require it, and luckily, most hotfixes fall into that
column. Installation mode makes all settings changes
global and for all users, but if you are only patching a
file, then there aren't any settings changes, and you
don't need to worry about being in install mode. Most
poeple put these servers into install mode just to be
safe, and this is the best practice.
