Latest Hotfixes...

[Guest]

Hello I'm trying to update my Tserver to the latest patches and hotfixes to
try to solve some perfomance problems, but i don't find this patches at all.

Where can I download it??

In the corresponding KB refers to talk with Microsoft Support Tecnical
Stuff, but I think it is possible to download from any site as we did not
very much time ago.

Thanks in advace.

Regards,
Fernando Mons.

As the KB articles tells you, most hotfixes are not available for
general download. Just phone Microsoft Support and ask for the
specific hotfix. If you don't ask any other support questions
during the same call, you will get the hotfix mailed to you without
any costs (assuming that you run Windows 2003).

Hotfixes are seldom open downloads for good reasons:
after developing it, Microsoft has to perform extended testing to
make sure it doesn't break anything, and thus prefer that people
only get it if it is critical for them.
Forcing people to call to get the patch also helps Microsoft to
track who has it, as well as to see how many of those people who
obtain the fix call back to get further support when the patch
doesn't help.

Dear Vear,

Thanks for the information. Only a questión more. We are running Windows
2000 not 2003, so this policy is applicable also to 2000?

No, I don't think so. Mainstream support for W2K has ended per 1
July 2005. Only security fixes are for free.

You can download all hotfixes at pubforum.net. Dr. Conti has mase them all
available in a zip archive, or individually. There's also a batch file to
apply all of the hotfixes at once with qchain.exe.
