I am just wondering which latest service pak I need to download for
Windows2000 Professional and Server ?
I found there are service packe for End Users, Network Professionals...etc.
Are the service packs for Professional and Server different ?
 
Greetings --

No, the same service pack applies to both server and workstation
operating systems.

"End Users" = Express Install (becomes full install)
"Network Professionals" = Full Install
"Are the service packs for Professional and Server different ?" No
 
Is there a way to download the service pack store it in harddisk rather than
install at run time ?

The Network download should NOT be installed in "Run time." I don't know if it even can be done. That would put the entire file in your Temp directory anyway. So in effect you have downloaded the entire Service Pack if you use the Network install. It is called Network install because an Administrator will download the entire Service Pack and make it available to his clients.

The file you get when you get the Service Pack can be installed in one of to ways. Type the name of the file in Command Prompt. Or unpack the Service Pack with WinZIP and double click update.exe
 
So I can choose the Network download for the entire pack in order to install
at different machines if these machines have different service packs
installed previously?

Service Packs are cumulative. It doesn'r matter what level of Service Pack Windows 2000 is at when you apply the patch. Except of course you will read the ReadMe Release Notes for the service pack to make sure you don't have any of the known issues that can cause a Service Pack Install to fail.
