    I believe that all Pre_SP3 Security Patches are automatically removed by
    installing Window 2000 SP2. I've verified that the Pre-SP3 QXXXXXX are
    not listed under the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix\Q######

    after installing SP2.

    If you do a search by Product and Service Pack at
    <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.asp> for Security
    Patches using:
    Product: Windows 2000 Adv. Server
    Service Pack: Windows 2000 Service Pack 2

    You'll find that MS will list a number of security patches that need to
    be installed after installing Window 2000 SP2. I had those same
    security patches installed prior to the installation of Windows 2000 SP2
    - but now I need to re-install them all?? The same goes for IIS 5.0
    patches.

    I can not confirm these findings anywhere on Microsoft's web site or in
    the Readme's, but using the registry as my guide, the Pre-SP3 patches
    have been uninstalled during the install of Windows Service Pack 2.

    Anyone else see the same problem?
