RE: Microsoft Update Issues
I just did a fresh xp install with SP3, and updates followed. They installed just fine. I'm using a WSUS server, and my updates are from that. Mark From: Cameron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 26, 2008 11:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Microsoft Update Issues I don't know if anyone else has run across this yet, but after applying XP SP3 it would download updates but not install them. This was a fresh XP install with SP3 installed after. There were 10 updates and it kept failing on the install. I found this and using Method 1 did seem to fix the problem (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144) Anyone come across this yet?

RE: ISA Server 2006 SP1
I don't think this is really a valid argument anymore. There have been bugger all vulnerabilities in ISA Server. It installs its own hardened TCP/IP stack. And provided you have rock-solid drivers for whatever hardware you are using, then it's a stable system.
