SUMMARY
This article describes Microsoft policy on the installation of Service Packs from within Terminal Server client sessions.



MORE INFORMATION
Any application that is going to have a system-wide impact should be installed in the following manner:


 * 1) Install at the Terminal Server console (session 0).
 * 2) Install under the administrtive security context.
 * 3) Place server in install mode.

Installation of Service Packs from within any session other than session 0 is not supported. Adverse effects may occur if Service Packs are not installed from the console session. You may have to reinstall the operating system to correct any problems. This has been fixed for Microsoft Windows 2000 SP3. Microsoft supports installation of SP3 on Windows 2000.
