Win2000 Sp4 Info


Recommended Posts

Microsoft is providing two installation options for SP4: Express and Network. Please review the descriptions below for each to determine the option that suits your needs.

Windows 2000 SP4 Express Installation:

The Express installation detects your system components and installs only the files that are necessary for your computer. For example, files for Windows 2000 Professional will not be installed if your computer is running Windows 2000 Server. As a result, the number of files installed and the download times may vary depending whether you are using Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server. This installation method is recommended for customers who want to reduce their download time.

For single computer installation only.

Requires an Internet connection during installation.

Typical sizes and times for the Express installation:

Windows 2000 Professional: 8 MB typical | 20 minutes @ 56K | 1 minute @ T1

Windows 2000 Server: 15MB typical | 38 minutes @ 56K | 2 minutes @ T1

Windows 2000 SP4 Network Installation:

The Network installation includes all of the Windows 2000 SP3 files needed for installation on Windows 2000 Professional, Server, or Advanced Server. This is an ideal download mechanism for IT professionals who require a downloadable copy of Windows 2000 SP3 that they can use for network deployment. ISDN or faster connection is highly recommended.

Recommended for multiple-computer installation.

No Internet connection required during installation of Windows 2000 SP3 with this method.

Typical download times for the Network installation:
