The /norestart option is available for this patch. You can choose to use it and wait for the latest mutation of the worm to hit the server and reboot it for you, or you could just simply schedule your patch-and-reboot time and ensure that the server is REALLY protected. What I'm trying to say in a round-about way is "patch and reboot ALREADY!". Sincerely,

If I used the /norestart switch to ran it from the command line I do get the patch under add and remove programs. Also the version of the file gets updated under c:\winnt\ssystem32. What do you think? Juan List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
