Impact from upgrading SQL Server 2005 SP3 Native Client have Connected Clients?

I'm in the process of upgrading some of my SQL Server 2005 SP3 (build 9.00.4060.0) instances to SQL Server 2005 SP4 RTM (build 9.00.5000.0) before I go ahead and upgrade instances on the same server which are currently used by the business. Once I see the installation is successful, I will proceed with install SP4 on the rest of the instances and then move forward with our production server.

Question

If I upgrade the Native Client on the server, do I have to upgrade the Native Client on all of my office employees desktops also? or can they simply stay on the current version of their Native Client and I can go ahead with just the server/instances upgrade?

Thanks,

Michael Murray

There shouldn't be any changes to the SQL client in SP4. I wouldn't bother unless after upgrade, someone has problems connecting.
