You only need to apply the latest (SP6a), not all of them! -----------------------------------------------------

The SP system is designed so that you don't have to do exactly what you plan to do. By applying SP6a to a newly installed server/workstation, this will apply all fixes from all Service Packs.

Quote taken from

http://www.microsoft.com:

"Service packs are cumulative. This means that the bugs fixed in a service pack are also fixed in subsequent service packs."

In other words, apply the latest SP only. -----------------------------------------------------

I have numerous NT servers in a production network with exposure to te internet for both

http://WWW service

and Terminal Services. Standard installation process is to install NT, install, SP6a, then install security roll-up patch q299444i, followed by any subsequent related security patches. Not only do subsequent service packs include ALL previous fixes, they also include fixes for inadvertent "features" added by botched code in previous service packs
