Re: Infamous "svchost" Automatic Updates horrors continue

Hi Allen - I don't think that that's any kind of problem as long as you are
careful to push the appropriate version of 927891 for the box involved -
there are several depending on whether a box is XP or Windows Server and
whether the box OS is 32 or 64-bit. See here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=927891 If they are _all_ 32-bit XP, then
the only one you will need to push is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A
That hotfix and the new Update Agent should probably be upgraded on all
machines to prevent the occurance of the 'svchost' related issues on those
that haven't had the problem as well as to correct it (hopefully
permanently) on those that have.

|| Hi Jim
|| So from reading the newsgroups:
|| 1) install the hotfix 927891
|| 2) install the WUA agent 3.0
|| 3) upgrade the Server to 3.0
||
|| For the Hotfix: can that be applied to machines not affected? We
|| aren't sure who's really affected as our user base is 3,000, and I'd
|| like to push the hotfix via SMS to XP machines to make things
|| simpler.
||
|| Any harm in doing that?
|| thanks
