Hi Chris. 842933 is the KB for [string] section too large error. As far as
I remember the patch was released to fix the error, but the error should not
have stopped you from configuring your firewall settings in the GP. The
main patch required for SBS2k3 is 872769 which adjust the settings and
allowed the SP2 settings to be adjusted via GP. I'll double check but I
don't think there are any updated .adm files distributed with 842933 so
there shouldn't really have been any changes to your configuration after its
install, other than to fix the string error.
