I've went throught the SP4 documentation but I didn't find a clear answer about how to deal with this situation:
In the situation of a multi instances server in which all instances are SP3a, can I just upgrade a couple of instances to SP4 and leave the others in SP3a ? .
One of the instances I may have to leave in SP3a belongs to a merge replication environnement (Distributor and Publisher), while the Subscriber is also in SP3 on a remote server (which I don't administer..).(the point is that in this situation I have to upgrade the 2 servers simultaneously)
In other words, when I 'll apply the SP4 to just one instance, I understood that the all the tools will be upgraded to SP4.
Will the merge replication involving a SP3 instance on the same server still work?
Thanks for your comments/replies/ideas.

jalalIt is not recommended to leave some instances at lower SP levels. You could try this on a test configuration, all shared components will be upgraded to SP4 level. I dont think you will get a correct response related to your "merge replication" question under "Setup & Upgrade"|||I just thought it was an upgrade issue...
I've read somewhere in the upgrade documentation that SP4 shared tools were compatible with post SP3 ones:
-I was not sure about replication
but thanks for the reply
