And on your server, go to Windows update and flip yourself over to Microsoft update... but MBSA is a better overall checker anyway...

Thank you for your response. Hopefully you aren't too stressed over 'stupid' Microsoft. :^)

I deleted the Server Manager icon from Startup. Thanks.

What is MU or MBSA and where do I run it from? Command prompt?

That not connected -\\ is normal. You can just delete that stupid icon out of programs/startup. Stupid Microsoft and a cosmetic issue left over from a patch.

Run MU or MBSA to confirm that it has SP4

The consultant that installed our sbs 2k3 (swing migration from sbs 2K) had not installed SQL Server or it didn't install correctly. The icon in the system tray has a "Not connected - \\" tool tip when I hover the mouse over it.

WSS + SP2 has been installed and I started using it (a little). It apparently was set up with MSDE, not SQL Server. I followed the instructions from the Premium Technologies CD to upgrade the instance of MSDE used for Windows SharePoint Services. The instructions worked great but the last step instructs to install SP3a. During the installation of SP3a, though, at step 4, I selected SharePoint and clicked next. A message box appeared that said "SHAREPOINT has a newer version of Service pack installed. Setup will now exit."

I did have the MSSQL$SHAREPOINT service stopped.

My companyweb site still works, but I have no idea if I'm running the latest service pack SP3a. How can I determine this?

Is this the correct method for setting up WSS to use SQL Server? If so, how do I get SQL Server to connect?

Thanks for any help you'd be willing to share...
