When ever I have had an issue due to installing a hotfix, the support has been free as long as you state that it occured as a result of the hotfix.
I had one last month with an outlook patch and it was resolved FOC. I assume this is the case globally - not just in the UK.

Susan, We don't have a MS support contract. Unfortunately rebooting the server was cheaper than paying MS $245. Never used WSUS until this month. I am currently running WSUS 3.0. Now for those of you who have experienced this bug and do not have a support contract: Just contacted MS @ (800) 936-4900 (option 2) and asked if I can just report a bug without having to pay and he informed me that I will have to report the bug via mail to the development team. The address he gave me was: Microsoft Corporation 1 Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052 Attention would be to the Development Team. Include the product name and bug. Susan…I think informing MS in some way or form of this potential bug is a good idea… -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS Rocks [MVP] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 9:54 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] The remote computer has ended the connection. Can you PLEASE call into Microsoft PSS or your tam or pam or whatever and report this? Along with anyone else seeing this issue? I know that calling into PSS can be a pain, but please report this issue. We are seeing this more and more and I need to have bodies called in. We seriously need to get to the bottom of this because in the SBS space we do a lot of remote management and if the RDP dies we have to fall back to ILOs and this isn't acceptable in my book for patching to do this. Do you rely on WSUS?
