-
- 1.0 Introduction
- -----------------
- This release of Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM) 4.0 Service Pack 2
- is easy to apply from within Windows NT and changes only those files that
- were originally set up on the Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server
- system. Service Pack releases are cumulative: they contain all previous
- fixes, as well as any new fixes made to the system.
-
- 2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT Service Pack
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Before Installing the Service Pack
-
- Please close active debugging sessions before installing this Service
- Pack, otherwise the update program will be unable to replace system files
- in use. If a file is in use, a dialog box will allow you to choose to
- abort the installation or skip the file copy. We recommend you choose to
- abort and run the update program selecting the uninstall option. Close
- active sessions on the system and rerun update.exe to install the Service
- Pack.
-
- Installing the Service Pack from a compact disc:
- 1. Insert the Service Pack compact disc into the CD-ROM drive.
- 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to the drive letter
- associated with the CD-ROM drive. Change directory to i386,
- ALPHA, or PPC (depending upon whether you have an Intel(TM),
- ALPHA(TM) or PowerPC(R) CPU), and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
-
- Installing the Service Pack from a network drive:
- 1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the
- network drive on which the Service Pack files reside.
- 2. Change the drive letter to that network drive. Change directory to i386,
- ALPHA, or PPC directory (depending upon whether you have an Intel(TM),
- ALPHA(TM) or PowerPC(R) CPU), and then type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
-
- 2.1 Service Pack Uninstall
- ---------------------------
- This Service Pack contains an uninstall feature that can be used to remove
- the Service Pack from your system. It will restore your system to its previous
- state; for example, if you install Service Pack 2 on top of Service Pack 1,
- when you uninstall Service Pack 2, you will have Service Pack 1 left on your
- system.
-
- To enable the uninstall option, you must create an uninstall directory when
- running UPDATE.EXE the first time. To do this, check the "Yes, I want to create
- an Uninstall directory" button. A subdirectory in your Windows NT directory will
- be created and this requires that you have at least 60M of free space on the
- drive you have Windows NT installed on.
-
- To uninstall the Service Pack, run UPDATE.EXE and check the "Uninstall a previously
- installed Service Pack" button. After your system has rebooted, UPDATE will have
- replaced the files updated by the Service Pack with the files from the previous
- installation, and will have returned your registry settings to what they were before
- the Service Pack was installed.
-
- If you install any applications that require Service Pack 2, or have bug fixes
- contained in Service Pack 2, performing an uninstall could adversely affect
- those applications.
-
- Also, it is recommended that you run the Emergency Repair Disk before updating
- your system with a Service Pack.
-
-
- 3.0 User Notes
- ---------------
- 3.1 Emergency Repair Disk
-
- If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair
- your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service Pack,
- you will need to reapply the Service Pack after the repair is completed.
- This is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by restoring
- your original Windows NT setup. After the repair has completed, simply
- follow the above Installation Instructions to reapply the Service Pack.
-
-
- 3.2 Adding New Components to the System
-
- If you change or add new software or hardware components to your
- system after you have applied the Service Pack, you will need to
- reapply the Service Pack. This is because the files taken from the
- original Windows NT disk set may not be the same as the files on the
- Service Pack disk set. You cannot install new components
- directly from the Service Pack media (such as a new keyboard or printer
- driver). You must install new components from the original product media.
-
-
- 3.3 Installing Symbol Files from the compact disc
-
- Each program file in Windows NT has a corresponding symbol file that is used to
- find the cause of kernel STOP errors. To install the symbol files corresponding to
- the new binaries in Service Pack 2, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive
- is D:, your symbol files are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you
- are installing the files for an x86 machine):
-
- XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS
-
- This will copy the Service Pack 2.DBG files over the existing
- versions of these files. The XCOPY command shown will copy only those
- .DBG files that are already installed (/U switch), and only those with a
- more recent time-date stamp (/D switch).
-
- For more information about debugging on Windows NT, see chapter 39, 'Windows NT
- Debugger," in the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation Resource Kit.
-
-
- 3.4 Remote Access Service PPP CHAP MD5 authenticator support
-
- SP2 provides limited PPP MD5-CHAP authenticator support to the Remote Access
- Server that may be useful for small user-count environments using
- non-Microsoft PPP dial-in clients. The support is local to a given RAS
- server. The MD5 account information is stored in the RAS server's
- registry and is not integrated or synchronized with the User Manager
- account database. Integrated support will appear in a later release,
- at which time this limited support may be deprecated.
-
- The local MD5-CHAP authenticator is enabled by creating the MD5 key below
- and adding "account" subkeys of the form [<domain>:]<user>, with subvalue
- "Pw" containing the account password. The ":" notation is used instead of
- "\" due to the syntax rules of registry keys. The 'domain:' is optional
- and typically omitted. MD5-CHAP will not be negotiated (old behavior) when
- the MD5 key does not exist (default).
-
- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\CHAP\MD5
- [<domain>:]<user>
- (REG_SZ)Pw
-
-
- 3.5 Microsoft DHCP Server
-
- This version of the Microsoft DHCP Server modifies the format of the dhcp
- database. You should back up the contents of your %windir%\system32\dhcp
- directory prior to upgrading.
-
- The address conflict detection feature can limit the throughput of Microsoft
- DHCP Server. For improved performance, reduce the number of ping retries in
- the Server Properties dialog. This feature is disabled by default.
-
- Address conflicts are indicated by replacing the machine name with
- "BAD_ADDRESS". If a Unique Identifier is specified for the address in the
- Client Properties dialog, then the address was declined by the client. If
- the Unique Identifier is not specified then the address conflict was detected
- by the DHCP Server.
-
- Microsoft DHCP server can be configured to set a client's default gateway
- equal to its IP address. This causes the client to arp for all IP addresses
- on the local subnet, and is useful for routerless networks. To enable this
- feature for all clients in a scope, add the following value to the registry:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Subnets\a.b.c.d\SwitchedNetworkFlag=1 (REG_DWORD)
-
- This version of Microsoft DHCP Server supports BOOTP clients. BOOTP addresses
- currently must be reserved in advance by creating an IP address reservation.
- Future versions of Microsoft DHCP Server will be capable of leasing dynamic
- addresses to BOOTP clients.
-
- BOOTP clients that do not specify the parameter request list option ( 55 ) can
- still retrieve the following options from this release of Microsoft DHCP Server:
-
- 1 Subnet Mask
- 3 Router
- 5 Name Server
- 12 Host Name
- 15 Domain Name
- 44 NetBIOS over TCP/IP Name Server
- 45 NetBIOS over TCP/IP Datagram Distribution Server
- 46 NetBIOS over TCP/IP Node Type
- 47 NetBIOS over TCP/IP Scope
- 48 X Window System Font Server
- 49 X Window System Display Manager
- 69 SMTP Server
- 70 POP3 Server
- 9 LPR Server
- 17 Root Path
- 42 NTP Servers
- 4 Time Server
-
- In order to obtain other options the client must specify option 55 in the
- BOOTP request. DHCP Server will return the options in the order listed
- above. DHCP Server will return as many options as will fit in in response
- packet.
-
- The activity log feature creates a text log file of all DHCP Server activity.
- The file is located at %windir%\system32\dhcp\dhcpsrv.log. When the activity
- log feature is enabled this file will be kept open by DHCP Server while the
- Server is running. To delete the activity log file you must first stop DHCP
- Server:
-
- NET STOP DHCPSERVER
-
- If available disk space becomes low the activity log will pause until sufficient
- disk space becomes available to continue.
-
- You must also stop and restart the DHCP Service after enabling or disabling
- Logging, Superscope, or DHCP Decline support.
