Required Service Packs for Installing Microsoft Windows 2000

Current BackOffice family applications and server suites—and even legacy applications—will be fully supported on Microsoft Windows® 2000 Server. Most of the required service packs, both for BackOffice Server 4.5 and other server suites, are available for order or download today (see table below) and others will be available soon, or shortly after the commercial release of Windows 2000.

These service packs not only offer the latest software fixes and performance enhancements, but also include the updates necessary for proper operation of the respective BackOffice applications on Windows 2000. The links in the table below will direct you to the appropriate information (including ordering, downloading, and additional documentation) for each related component and service pack. Check back to this page for updates on those service packs listed as not yet available.
