      How to Use This Document
      This document provides information about the Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Review this document to better understand the scope of this Service Pack, how to install Service Pack 1, and the issues that it addresses.

      1.0 Introduction
      Service Pack 1 is a collection of updates that fix issues in the Windows 2000 operating system. You can apply this Service Pack easily while Windows 2000 is running.
      To assist customers who are deciding whether to upgrade to Service Pack 1, Microsoft provides extensive documentation about Service Pack 1 fixes and updates. This documentation gives customers the opportunity to analyze whether the Service Pack 1 contents justify the necessary testing and deployment resources. For the most current list of affected Service Pack files, see the Microsoft Product Support Services Web Site.

      important-icon   Important
      • This Service Pack is not a required upgrade; however, some applications may require this Service Pack to run properly.
      • Before you apply Service Pack 1, see Before You Install the Service Pack.
      • You cannot use Windows 2000 integrated installations to update Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

      1.1 What's in Service Pack 1?
      Service Pack 1 is a collection of updates that fix issues in the Windows 2000 operating system, including:
      • Operating system reliability
      • Application compatibility
      • Windows 2000 Setup
      • Security issues

      1.2 Service Pack CD Contents
      Service Pack 1 is available from the Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 CD, which includes:
      • Service Pack 1 installation files
      • Service Pack 1 documentation
      • Additional Windows components, including:

      Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSAC) utilities—a package of Web components and management tools based on the Terminal Services Advanced Client Win32® ActiveX® control that can be used to run Terminal Services sessions within Internet Explorer.
      important-icon   Important
      The Terminal Services Client is not part of the Service Pack 1 installation; it must be installed separately. For more information about using and installing TSAC, see \Valueadd\TSAC\Readme.htm on your Service Pack CD or the Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site under "Learn More".
      • Service Pack Debug Symbols

      For more information about the Debug Symbols see Service Pack Debug Symbols, or go to \Support\Debug\DBG.htm on your Service Pack CD or the Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site under "Learn More".
      • Updated Windows 2000 deployment tools
      • Microsoft Windows 2000 Guide to Unattended Setup (Unattend.doc)
      To order the Service Pack 1 CD, go to the Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site.

      1.3 Service Pack Web Site
      The Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site includes all of the items listed under Service Pack CD Contents. However, there are also two installation options available from this Web site:
      • The express installation
      • The network download

      For more information about each of these installation options, see Installing from the Web.

      This installation option detects your system components and installs only those files that are necessary to update the destination computer. This method ensures the entire Service Pack is loaded on your system and is recommended for end users who want to reduce their download time.
      1.3.2 The Network Download
      This installation option downloads all of the Service Pack 1 files to your computer. This is an ideal download mechanism for administrators who wish to set up a network share for deployment.

      1.4 Service Pack 1 Encryption
      Installing this Service Pack does not change your current encryption level. Setup determines the encryption level—either standard (56-bit) or high (128-bit) encryption—of your operating system and automatically installs the Service Pack with the same encryption level.

      If you wish to update your encryption level (from 56-bit to 128-bit) after Service Pack 1 is installed, run the High Encryption Pack from the Microsoft Windows 2000 Web site. There is no need to reinstall Service Pack 1 after you run the High Encryption Pack.

      1.5 Additional Windows 2000 Service Pack Resources
      For additional information about the Windows 2000 operating system and this Service Pack, see the following resources:

      2.3 Installing Service Pack 1
      You can install Service Pack 1 from the Service Pack CD, from a network drive, or from the Windows 2000 Service Pack Download Web site. During the installation process, the Update.exe program installs the Service Pack files on your computer and automatically creates a back-up of the files and settings that Service Pack installer changes and saves them in $NTServicepackUninstall$ folder on %systemroot.
      To stop Update.exe from automatically creating a back-up
      • For an attended installation, deselect the Backup files necessary to uninstall this Service Pack at a later time check box.
      • For an unattended installation, add the -n switch to the command line when you run Update.exe.

      For more information about the Update.exe command-line switches, see Using Command-Line Switches with Update.exe.

      important-icon  Important
      If you turn off this automatic Update.exe option, you cannot use the uninstall Service Pack 1 mechanism and, therefore, cannot uninstall the Service Pack.

      2.3.1 Installing from the Service Pack 1 CD

      This method starts Update.exe from the CD by means of the autorun.

      1. Insert the Service Pack 1 CD into your CD-ROM drive.
      2. If a Web page opens in your browser, click Install Service Pack 1.

      If a Web page does not automatically open when you insert the CD, at the command prompt, change the folder to       drive:\i386\Update, type update, and then press Enter.

      The       drive is the drive letter associated with the CD-ROM drive.

      If Setup prompts you to download Update.exe or to save it to disk, click       Run this program from its current location, and then click OK.
      3. Follow the instructions that appear.

      2.3.2 Installing from the Web
      There are two installation options for Service Pack 1 available from the Web:
      • The express installation
      • The network download

      For more information on these options, see Service Pack Web Site.

      To download the express installation
      1. Using your browser, go to the Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site.
      2. To install Service Pack 1, click Install Service Pack 1.

      The express installation automatically detects which files need to be updated and then copies the appropriate files to a temporary folder on your computer. It then installs those files and updates your computer.

      note-icon  Note
      Internet Explorer 5 is installed with Windows 2000. If you use a Web browser other than Internet Explorer 5 or later, you may be unable to install Service Pack 1 by using this installation option. You can still install Service Pack 1 by downloading the entire Service Pack from the Web to your computer and running SP1network.exe locally.

      To download the network download
      If you download the network download of the Service Pack, you should read this section completely before you extract and install the Service Pack.

      1. Using your browser, visit the Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site.
      2. To install Service Pack 1, click Install Service Pack 1.

      During the Service Pack download, the compressed Service Pack executable file (SP1network.exe) is saved on your hard drive. You can extract this compressed program file with or without starting the installation program.

      To extract the compressed program file and start the installation program
      • At the command prompt, type SP1network.exe, and press Enter.
        Or, from your desktop, locate the SP1network.exe file, and then double-click it.

      To extract the compressed program file without starting the installation program
      • At the command prompt, type SP1network.exe -x, and press Enter.

      note-icon  Note
      If SP1network.exe is started with any other command-line switches, it assumes that these commands are for Update.exe and "forwards" them accordingly.

      For more information about the command-line switches, see Using Command-Line Switches with Update.exe.

      2.3.3 Installing from a network drive
      This is one of the supported methods for redistributing the Service Pack by means of a company server.

      1. Connect to the network drive that contains the Service Pack 1 files.
      2. Change to the drive letter of the network drive.
      3. Change the folder to \i386\Update.
      4. Double-click Update.exe.
      5. Follow the instructions that appear.

      2.4 Using Command-Line Switches with Update.exe
      The following table identifies the command-line switches that Update.exe supports.
        Command-Line Switch   
        Description
        -u
        Unattended Setup mode
        -f
        Force other applications to close at shutdown
        -n
        Do not back up files for uninstall
        -o
        Overwrite OEM files without prompting
        -z
        Do not restart the computer when the installation completes
        -q
        Quiet mode—no user interaction required
        -s:folder name
        Integrated installation mode (to a distribution server location)
      For example, if you want to install Service Pack 1 in quiet mode and you want all other applications to close when the computer shuts down, type Update.exe -q -f

      note-icon  Note
      If you use the -q or -u switch to run Update.exe in quiet or unattended Setup mode and you want to update OEM-supplied files, you must also use the -o switch. If you do not use the -o switch, files such as the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and disk miniport drivers are not updated.

      3.0 Uninstalling Service Pack 1
      This Service Pack contains an uninstall mechanism that you can use to restore your computer to its previous state. When you run Update.exe to install Service Pack 1, a subfolder named $NTServicepackUninstall$ is automatically created in your %systemroot% folder. To turn off this Update.exe option, see the installation methods under Installing Service Pack 1.

      You can uninstall Service Pack 1 by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel or by running the uninstall program from the command prompt.

      5. To close the Command Prompt window, type Exit.

      4.0 Installation Notes
      This section provides specific release information about Service Pack 1.

      4.1 Using the Integrated Installation Method to Install Windows 2000 and Service Pack 1

      The Update.exe program supports a new installation that integrates the Service Pack with the Windows 2000 installation. You no longer need to perform separate installations of the operating system and the Service Pack.

      important-icon   Important
      You cannot use Windows 2000 integrated installations to update Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server. For more information about this issue, go to the Microsoft Product Support Services Web site.

      For more information about the integration installation method, see the Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack Installation and Deployment Guide (SPDeploy.doc) located at \Support\Tools\SPDeploy.doc on your Service Pack CD or see the Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site under "Learn More".

      4.2 Service Pack Debug Symbols
      You can install the Service Pack Debug Symbols files from \Support\Debug\Dbg.htm on your Service Pack CD or from the Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site under "Learn More". During the installation process, the Service Pack Debug Symbol files are copied over the existing versions of the original Debug Symbol files.

      note-icon  Note
      Debug Symbol files are recommended for system administrators and other advanced users to diagnose application and computer crashes. However, Debug Symbol files are not required for proper operation of your computer.

      For more information about debugging on Windows 2000, see Windows 2000 Debugging Tools Documentation at the Microsoft Debugging Tools Web site.

      4.3 Terminal Services Advanced Client
      Your Service Pack 1 CD includes the Microsoft Terminal Services Advanced Client, which is an update to the Terminal Services client side. The Advanced Client extends the Terminal Services solution to Web applications and provides administrative tools for managing Terminal Services connections and deploying clients.

      important-icon   Important
      The Terminal Services Client is not part of the Service Pack 1 installation; it must be installed separately. For more information about using and installing TSAC, see \Valueadd\TSAC\Readme.htm on your Service Pack CD or the Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site under "Learn More".

      The Terminal Services Advanced Client consists of the following three components, each with its own setup program:
      • Terminal Services ActiveX Client Control and sample pages
        This ActiveX control provides virtually the same functionality as the full Terminal Services Client, but is designed to deliver this functionality over the Web. The ActiveX Client Control Setup package installs the ActiveX control, the         ActiveX Client Control Deployment Guide, and sample Web pages on a Web server.

      important-icon   Important
      The Terminal Services Advanced Client ActiveX Client Control and sample Web pages must be installed on a computer running Internet Information Services (IIS) version 4.0 or later. This dependency applies to the Web server only. Users can download the control and view the Web pages from any supported client computer (Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000).
      • Terminal Services Connections Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in
        This tool enables administrators to host multiple Terminal Services connections in an easily navigable tree and is useful for managing many Terminal Servers.
      • Terminal Services Full Client Microsoft Installer (MSI) installation package
        This package enables administrators to deploy the Terminal Services Full Client to computers that are running Windows 2000 Professional.
      For more information about using and installing TSAC, see the \Valueadd\TSAC\Readme.htm on your Service Pack CD or the Windows 2000 Service Pack Web site under "Learn More".
