A great resource for finding out what Service Packs and Hotfixes you need
for your particular platform or application can be found at the following
URL. You just plug in your OS or application and choose your current
Service Pack level and it will give you a list of all pertinent Hotfixes.
You can see if there are any newer Service Packs out when you select your
current SP level from the drop-down menu.

I must say I am, overall, impressed with Hfnetchk. This is the sort of
thing that Microsoft should have had out years ago. (Just like Qchain. I'll
see if I can dig up a URL later.)

However, this is the problem I see with it: It'll tell me which hotfixes
haven't been applied but won't tell me if I'm missing service packs.

For instance, on the NT4 machine I'm testing this on, I have SQL Server 7.0
without any service packs. All it tells me is that I have a warning on
MS00-014 because it doesn't have any information on it.

So, this is my question: In lieu of Hfnetchk not telling me what service
packs I need, is there a URL that will show me which Microsoft products have
service packs released for them?

Many thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
