    Hi all,

    Currently I'm deploying a lot of SUS servers. Everything is working great,
    but I'm wondering about one thing: When a SUS clients has al post Service
    pack patches installed (through SUS) and you then run the Service pack
    again, what happens to all the post service pack patches? Do I need to
    reinstall them all? Or is the Service pack intelligent enough to not
    overwrite the patched files?
    If I do need to reinstall everything, is there a way to reset the SUS
    patching on that client? So that it will automatically download all patches
    from the SUS server again?
    I looked everywhere on the Internet but can't find anything about this
    subject ...

    Thanks,
