SQL Server 2005 service pack updates?

  • Last night i installed SQL Server 2005 Standard edition from disk onto my laptop successfully including all components, IIS, etc...

    Obviously i now need to update to the most recent Service Pack 3 but i was wondering exactly how to run the updates?

    Will they automatically download and install the next time i boot my system with internet connected?

    OR

    Do i need to go and download SP2, install it and then SP3 and install it?

    Just wondering if this is automatic or manual and what are the steps?

  • you can directly install sp3.You have to do it manually.
