Planning to Upgrade to SP4 for WIN2K?

If you are running operations console with Windows 2000 there is something to be aware of.  There is a problem with the console attaching to the system with Service Pack 4.  The error that occurs is “General fault KERNAL32.DLL while running process CEBOPCON.EVE.  IBM recommends not upgrading to SP4 or after the installation of SP4, installing hot fix 824301.  This hot fix can be obtained directly from Microsoft Support.  Please keep  in mind that if you are installing a new system using SP4, you will not be able to set the system up until this patch is installed.  For more information see APAR SE11182
