I have experienced the MP failures on multiple 2003 DC configured as
secondary sites. I can't nail it down to that patch though, since it seems
to have worked for a while with that patch on it, then spontaneously stopped
working. I can't find any useful help on why. It's working fine at other
sites with the same configurations.

I have fixed it at some sites by completely deleting the site and removing
IIS, then reinstalling IIS and the site. Doing a site repair hasn't helped.

It always seems to be the "SMS Management Point Pool" getting "unsepcified
errors", and then the pool quits and so does the MP.

I really need an answer to this.

I think it's a bigger problem. I may be going to Microsoft Premier Support
on this one.
