Can't apply Sql 2k server service pack 4 on XP workstation.

After install sql 2000 server - client tools on Win XP workstation, it won't
allow to install sql 2000 server Service Pack 4 (it will quit to desktop
immediately without any error or warning) But we can intall it on win2000
workstation.
- Is it normal that can't apply or not need to apply service pack on winXP
clients?
- How can I check which sql 2000 server service pack applied on clients?
No that wouldn't be considered normal. You do want to apply
the service packs to PC where the client tools are
installed.
You can open Query Analyzer and go to Help, About to
determine the build number of the client tools.
Build numbers and corresponding service packs are listed in
this article:
