I am in a corp enviroment using Novell as NOS. I have mutliple PC's of
varying makes and models. mostly HP and dell. I started updating PC's
yesterday and I always do a test on them one at a time to see if the patch
will cause problems with our other software.
Here is my findings so far; 4 with problems : 2 without... 50%
1. One PC is now in a reboot loop whereas safe mode doesn't work... will
have to do a restore. I will have to work on this problem to find a fix...
i suspect it is the stop: C0000139 GDI file missmatch error... (so they said
they fixed it in this release) but i will see tommorrow when i get a hold of
the PC...
2. Two PC's installed fine and rebooted fine, however repeated attempts to
revisit microsoft or windows update site has a issue where after the
Microsoft update site finishes its scan, it reports more patches due (mostly
office 2003 patches) but never the less after selecting them for download and
install they all fail. Says an error like this "a problem is preventing
updates to install" (or something similar). The SP3 apparently breaks both
the windows or microsoft update site from being used again. However, you can
go to the download site and download the patches one at a time and install
them with out issue. I used Microsoft's free tech support service last
night and after 6 hours of them remoteing in, i finally have a batch file
that re-registers all the .dll files for windows update. This has fixed the
broken updaters.
3. One PC would not allow me to log-in to the network (i am on novell
client 4.91) and had to go into safe mode to uninstall novell client and
reinstall it to fix that issue.
4. Two PC's installed just fine and did not exhibit the issues described
above.
50% shot of it working correctly... one note however, On two of the broken
ones, I used the administrator download to install it from our network drive
instead of downloading from web. One of them being the reboot looper...
I will hold off installing / rolling out more until microsoft releases
SP3(b)...
Plea for sanity...
Come on MS listen to us and get it right.... This thing has to be solid if
we (I) as an administrator are to roll this out to 150+ computers in my
organization... or I will have each user call your free support line when
they blow up....
