Multiple issues (Server & Desktop) since last Windows Updates

Early yesterday morning, I installed the following Windows Updates and I am
still fighting problems since the reboot after the updates.

One Windows Server 2003 Standard SP1 machine, it took 1.5 hours to get pass
the "Applying computer settings..." window to the logon dialog window. From
there, it took an additional 45 minutes before all of my profile was loaded
into the GUI. Fortunately, during this time all users were able to connect to
the server and the server is NOT an application server (only used as a file
server.

I have another two Windows Server 2003 Standard servers that I service 52
network printers. After the above updates were applied, I have a couple of
desktop computer that couldn't print to any of the Lexmark printers (E330n
and E332n) printer, nor could anyone add these printers to their printer
collection.

I also have a Windows Server 2003 SP1 server with Veritas BENT 10.0 backup
software that have multiple backup job errors from last night's backups
(AFTER I UNINSTALLED THE UPDATES AND REBOOTED) and I also had to reformat one
of my SDLT tapes.

Even after uninstalling ALL the latest Windows Updates on one of the servers
that maintains printers, I still have problems installing the above network
printers (tried on WinXP Pro and Win2K Pro with the same results (no printer
driver was installed & when I try printing to the printer I get a "printer
error". This is true on ONLY THE LEXMARK PRINTERS). I have tried using
Lexmark's latest Windows Certified (digitally signed) drivers with the same
results.

My question is this, "What in Sam's Hill is going on!" I have used Windows
server products since NT 4.0 Server in 1996 and I have never encountered this
severe a problem with installing Updates.
