Use the Current Service Packs and Post-Service Pack Releases

To reduce the likelihood of FRS errors, it is recommended that all replica members run the current service packs and post-service pack releases for either Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003.

Windows 2000 Server

We recommend that you install one of the following:

• Windows 2000 Server with SP3 and the post-Service Pack 3 release of Ntfrs.exe, described in article 815473, "File Replication Service Does Not Log Errors on Sharing Violations" at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=815473.
• Windows 2000 Server with SP4.

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2003 and the pre-Service Pack 1 release of Ntfrs.exe as described in article 823230, "Issues That Are Fixed in the Pre-Service Pack 1 Release of Ntfrs.exe" at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823230.
