Upgrading From 2.4 To 3.0 Using IIS6 And MSSQL

What SQL script do I run when upgrading from OTRS 2.4 to ORTS 3.0? Is it "scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.mssql.sql" or would it be the "scripts\DBUpdate-to-3.0.mssql.sql"?

Is there any type of module or package that would change this? Or am I wrong and OTRS does support it?
