Hello,

I am planning to Deploy 'Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP 4'
(Q891861) using a Computer Start Up script. This update requires a
reboot (although this can be surpressed using command-line switches).
My first question is: is it a problem if a Computer Start up script
restarts the workstation? (ie does it interrupt Windows start up and,
therefore, cause any type of issue). Advice appreciated....
My second question is: is there an easy way to build into a script a
check to see whether a particular update is installed to avoid running
the update again?

Thanks in advance for suggestions / comments
