Stable on a standard Win2k server install or not? We've just seen issues with some USB storage devices after applying MS04-011.

It's been stable on all the servers (just over 100) I've applied it to. cheers, Jamie -- James Riden / j.riden@massey.ac.nz / Systems Security Engineer GPG public key available at: http://www.massey.ac.nz/~jriden/ This post does not necessarily represent the views of my employer.
