Hello,

I've just looked over
http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Secure-Installation-Microsoft-SQL-Server-
2000.html
which seems to be a pretty good document. The problem is it references SP3.

Should I follow this guide, and then install SP4?

Will SP4 blow away any sound modifications made in the previous steps?

Can someone point me at other documents that they found useful when
trying to install SQL 2000 in the most secure way possible.?

Thanks in advance,
CH

Service Packs is cumulative. However , there are some hotfix MS reased to be
fixed some problems after installing SP4 .
