Win2008 SP1 download

Last updated on Feb 17, 2024 1 min read Windows Server

I just installed Windows Server 2008 in Virtual PC. Try to install All the service packs to the Server before using the “Windows update”. When I go to Microsoft Download Centre,

From the URL below: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a4dd31d5-f907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en I saw a message which say: [Service Pack 1 is a prerequisite for installing Service Pack 2. Please make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2. ], that means the ISO that I download will not include SP1.

Therefore I am searching for Windows Server 2008 SP1 from the Download centre, unfortunately, I could not find any location where I can download Win2008 SP1.

Finally I have checked the version of my Windows Server 2008 by: “Start Menu” -> Right Click “Computer” -> “Properties”

Cannot believe that the installed version already contain SP1. I guess when they release Windows Server 2008, they have included SP1 in there already.
