Oh to have all the boxes running in VMs :S I for one am gonna upload myself in to the cloud and just start taking snapshots of myself.

I had no issues with my development and pre-prod boxes...however I didn't give it long to bed in, having a long memory, I can remember the hell I went through with those other two network worms, Blaster and Sasser. Good job I have snapshots sitting on my ESX boxes though! 2008/10/24 Ken Schaefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We are going to push this patch to ~40,000 boxes this weekend alone. Hopefully all goes well :-) >From what we are seeing in UAT, no major issues. Certainly nothing with IIS (and I'm not seeing that in the IIS forums). DHCP - no issues either. I suspect those are unrelated issues that were waiting to manifest, and did so via a reboot. Cheers Ken > -----Original Message----- > From: John A.
