MSDE

We are running MSDE on Windows 2000 Server. The version number SQL2000,
8.00.760, 5.2 (Build 3790:SP1). So, I am running SP3. Is it necessary to
apply SP3a? If it is, is the "SP3a" file the same running on both SQL 2000
and MSDE? Thanks.It says here its not necessary unless you want the new "disable network
protocols" option.

Do I need to apply SP3a first before applying SP4 or I can apply SP4 without
applying SP3a first? Thanks.

fixes that are in earlier service packs, together with any new fixes. You do
not have to install an earlier service pack before you install the latest
one.
