Re: How Should CA Service Packs Be Administered?

[Jeff_Velten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Bill,
I normally pull down the Service Packs from the Web and load them onto a
few select PCs for testing. After two weeks or so I order the PTF, so it's
available for all the user PCs. I used to just order the Service Pack, but
we got burned by a Service Pack that was recalled several months ago. A few
of my more PC-literate users (the ones that knew enough to cause problems)
deselected the check box to allow Service Pack un-install. So... I ended up
having to re-install Client Access on those machines...

Thanks, Jeff.  That is kinda what it sounded like.  BUT this brings
forth the question:  Why should I get service packs from the Web if I
have order PTF's for the 400?  Doesn't the application of the PTF on the
400 then make it available to all PC's that connect and run update
service level?
