I have one Windows 2008 Server that after being patched RPC is no longer functioning. I have not had time to track down the problem yet, but I think now I know. I guess I will have to give that server more attention. Maybe even calling PSS.

I had remoted into the one SBS server I support this morning and saw that Windows Update had downloaded it but was waiting for me to install it. Glad I didn't. -----Original Message----- From: David Florea [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 1:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: MS-patch 09-001 I just resubbed after an absence, so I may have not seen prior traffic about Tuesday's update: I had a horrible experience with patch KB958687 on an SBS2003 server -- immediately after rebooting, RPC was inoperable, which caused the NICs to fail, and most other dependent services to not start (which was most of them). Took six hours with PSS to repair, but fortunately the file structure was intact. So much for early adopting. PSS indicated there were many of this problem, though it may be limited to SBS servers, not sure, they were pretty close-mouthed about it. Just a word to the wise.
