NT 4.0 Service Packs
Since the release of Windows NT 4.0, there have been three Service Packs released by Microsoft. These Service Packs contains all of the current fixes and updates.

Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 is easy to install from within Windows NT and changes only those files that were originally set up on the Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server system. Service Pack releases are cumulative: they contain all previous fixes and any new fixes made to the system.

In addition to the Service Packs Microsoft has released nearly 30 different "Hotfixes" for specific platforms and problems.

The Service Packs can be downloaded either from the web or via FTP. Microsoft's web site also contains a lot more information about the Service Packs: http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/
