Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a

From Computing Knowledgebase

Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 6a is a collection of bug fixes, security updates and provides improved functionality and stability. It also fixes bugs that were added from previous service packs (including SP6), addresses known Y2K issues - including those released after SP5 - and adds Euro currency support. Service Pack 6|SP6 can be applied to Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Server, and Enterprise Server versions.

Special note: the difference between SP6 and SP6a is simply a small bug fix. The problem appeared when a program attempted to connect to a server and the user did not have full administrative rights to the computer. You may have seen an application error such as:

  • Could Not Connect to Server
  • Access Denied

Windows NT 4.0 SP6 was out for only a few weeks in November 1999, and very few people were affected by the bug, which is fixed in SP6a.
