Check installation of SP2 for MOSS?

Question

I have 12.0.0.6421 showing in Central Administration, which seems to indicate that SP2 is installed. However, when I run the STSADM command to back up the site collection, I don’t see any messages informing me that “the site collection setting will be read only during the backup”, as described here:

I just got the message "Operation completed successfully", which I used to get preliminary SP2. Does this mean that SP2 is installed incorrectly?

Answer 1

Anthony,

A display of assembly 6421 does indicate that SP2 is in place. To make sure, I checked my own farm and virtual machines, as well as a reliable external source (blog entry Todd Klindt: http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=154 ). I did not doubt the build quantity, but it never hurts to confirm :-)

At first, it seemed to me that I understood where the problem is, so I conducted several tests. First, I ran STSADM in disastrous mode to back up my entire farm. Since this is not a backup of the site collection, blocking should not be performed:

stsadm -o backup -directory \\ss-nas3\backups\test -backupmethod full

stsadm -o backup -url https://www.sculpted-system.com/pictures -filename \\ss-nas3\backups\test\SiteCollectionBackupTest.bak

Answer 3

Your version is correct for SP2; I would not worry about the appearance of the STSADM message; it is a rather inconsistent tool.
