Windows NT
4.0 SP6a includes the following updates to SP6:
- The update for the SP6 issue with
Lotus Notes and other Winsock based applications.
This issue prevents connection to the server when
the current user is not logged in with administrator
rights. For more information about this issue, read
Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) Article Q245678
- In accordance with Microsoft's
commitment to Year 2000 compliance, SP6a includes an
update to the IIS 3.0 log converter utility, convlog.
For more information about this, read Microsoft
Knowledge Base (KB) Article
Q245329.
- Winver.exe has been revised to
allow you to quickly verify whether a system is
running Windows NT 4.0 SP6a.
If you installed SP6 or SP6a
between November 22 and November 29, 1999,
please confirm which service pack you have by following these
steps. This is recommended because part of the SP6a
pages were mistakenly pushed to the web before the SP6a
binaries were released. If you already have SP6a
installed, you do not need to take any action.
If you have SP6 installed,
you can update your computer by installing the
corresponding X86
or Alpha
SP6a hotfix.
Important: To avoid
problems, including possible data loss, if you use both
Microsoft Outlook and Computer Associates Inoculan, you
should verify that you are using the latest version of
the Inoculan drivers before installing Windows NT 4.0
SP6a. Please visit http://support.ca.com
to obtain the latest drivers. Other applications and
prior versions of Service Packs may be affected as well;
see the Microsoft
Knowledge Base article Q244652 for additional
details.
SP6a is available in Standard
Encryption or High Encryption (128-bit) versions for
both the Intel x86 and DEC Alpha platforms. Both
versions contain the same updates and differ only in the
level of encryption. The Standard Encryption versions
below allow you to choose a language for SP6a and select
a specific downloading site.
Note: If you have
previously installed 128-bit components on your system,
download the High Encryption version.
