Has anyone acquired this mentioned hotfix to their
security patch MS04-011? Tried calling them today but
that was about as fruitful as trying to squeeze water
from a rock. If you have this hotfix please post a
message here or contact me directly.

I have a W2K Server supporting a Citrix installation that
is impacted with the high CPU utilization issue of MS04-
011 and rolling back helped as did disabling the IPSec
service but did not get me back to where I was before and
I still experience higher than normal CPU usage with some
programs.

Tried to Identify the files installed with MS04-011 and
then set up an identical system with all SPs and Hotfixes
applied except that one and came up with a list of five
files that were not the same between the two boxes but
further research on those files revealed that they were
installed (to their current version) for valid reasons.
I suspect that there are Registry settings that are
changed with this faulty security patch but have no way
to identify what those may be or what they were before
applying the patch.

This is the second time I've been nailed by a patch,
guess I will learn to do a full back-up or disk image
before applying patches just in case I need to roll
back. Oddly enough I have five other identical servers
(identical as to hardware and OS, they do have different
apps) that are fully patched, even with MS04-011 and they
are having no problems - just this one has problems.
