Guest sebuck Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 If I perform the following steps: 1. Install the OS. 2. Apply all updates using Windows Update. 3. Use the Windows Components Wizard to add a component (say IIS). Do I need to reinstall all of the appropriate updates such as service packs in order for IIS to be updated (and especially secure!)? Or is Windows Update smart enough to recognize that IIS was installed AFTER service packs, security updates, etc and tell me if I need to reapply them? If not, how do I even know what I need to reapply? Thanks, STEVE
Guest sebuck Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 The short answer: No for service packs but yes for hotfixes (at least the ones after the last service pack that apply).
