Hi Mark,

Thanks for replying. Well my attempted client patch also failed. So can
you or anyone else tell me how I am supposed to patch the clients that are
already installed? The funny thing is that I ran the .EXE with the /s switch
on the 3 SMS servers, and the patch seems to have worked for them, as those
servers don't appear in the KB831962 collection created as per the KB article.

However, I am unable to get this patch to work on non-SMS servers or Windows
2000/XP workstations!

Jayson.
