Re: Applying SP3A to a new node

Mike,

thanks, I read it before I wrote the first post, but it fails because it
cannot find the shared resources (obvious). So, I didn't know how to
continue. Now, I'll try the second option you said.

Just one more question. Is there any risk installing SP3a over node without
it, but the databases in the shared resource (master, etc) having it applied
(because I applied it in the first node)? In that case, if I apply again the
SP3a in the first node, it would be applied over the 2nd node automatically?

Thanks again.

Patrick.
