W2k3 SBS SP2

Save the beatings for later... I will *finally* be installing SP2 on a W2k3
SBS Standard server this week. I have installed many updates since SP2 was
orignially released. My assumption is that SP2 will overwrite some of the
files which were updated post-SP2 release (thus undoing the updates). Will MS
Win Update software recognize that some of the updates need to be
reinstalled, or will I need to manually reinstall all updates released after
SP2 (or alternately uninstall them prior to installing SP2)? Does Update look
at file properties/dates/versions, or is there a database of installed
updates which Update checks against, to determine which updates have not yet
been installed?

Install SP2 and then run the
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...playlang=en&tm
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.1 (for IT Professionals)

I would assume that SP2 would not overwrite files that were newer, but then
again one cannot assume anything.
