Re: Group Policy to push out sp4

You will have to do it as a "software package" via group policy. Run sp4
with a -x after the command (w2ksp4.exe -x). This will extract the files
needed for setup. After you have the files extracted, you will have this
path "\i386\update\update.msi" to the .msi file in the place where you
extracted the files to. Now just create a computer software GPO that will
install the sp on startup by executing the .msi file in the dir I specified.
