not yet created by LAN Manager, the setup will fail. To work around this problem,
use the following command to create an administrative share on the PSFS volume.
In the command, s:\ is the PSFS volume.

Update considerations for SQL Server 2005
Instance-Aware components
When you perform an unattended installation of SQL Server 2005 SP1 or a SQL
Server 2005 hotfix, only instance-aware components (that is, components related to
the instance) will be installed. Non-instance-aware components such as SSIS (DTS),
Notification Services, and SQL Tools are not updated. This is by Microsoft design.
To update the non-instance-aware components, you will need to install SP1 or the
hotfix manually and select those components (they are selected by default). This needs
to be done only once. You can then perform unattended installations of the service
pack or hotfix on your other SQL Server 2005 instances.
The non-instance-aware components are installed automatically with SQL Server
2005 SP2.
Extract zip files
Some hotfixes are provided in zip files. Be sure to extract the contacts of the file and
review the README before starting the installation.
SQL Server 2005 SP2 required for Full Text Search
SQL Server 2005 SP2 is required if you will be using FTE. SP2 provides the NTLM
Security Support Provider (NTLMSSP) service, which is used by FTE. Because Windows
Server 2008 does not include the NTLMSSP service, FTE will fail if SP2 is not installed.
SQL Server 2005 hotfix 2153
Hotfix 2153 for SQL Server 2005 SP1 can be installed via the update wizard;
however, the SSIS/NS/Tools components will not be updated. If you need these
shared components, update them manually after the wizard has completed. The
components will then be registered on the node.
