IE SP Update

[Guest]

Hello All

I am trying to update to the newest Internet Explorer Service Pack on a Terminal Server. After going into Control Panel and selecting the Windows Update option in the Add/Remove Programs window, I am redirected to the Windows Update site. After the installation file for the IE Service Pack was dowloaded, the executable used to update tells me that I must be in Installation Mode to continue (which I already am). Is there a method that I can resolve this problem to get the update

Thanks in advance
Bao

Manually put the server in install mode via "change user /install" -> Do you update, then "change user /execute" when you're done

I'm not a fan of assuming "add/remove programs" does this correctly

"change user /query" will tell you which mode you're currently in
