For me, applying all of the patches automatically can sometimes make a new problem. Some machines with Windows XP and automatic updates turn the machines to be slower and fail on some applications. I have to uninstall the HotFixes, but it turns the machines to be unsecure again. That's why I only enforce to use critical patches only and turn off the automatic update on Windows 2003 server. Any problem on Windows 2003 automatic update so far? If automatic update can create a problem, why should there still be? Or why the vendor doesn't just turn it off by default? :) (availability can't be separated from secure systems) regards, cyhss --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captus Networks Are you prepared for the next Sobig & Blaster? - Instantly Stop DoS/DDoS Attacks, Worms & Port Scans - Precisely Define and Implement Network Security - Automatically Control P2P, IM and Spam Traffic FIND OUT NOW - FREE Vulnerability Assessment Toolkit http://www.captusnetworks.com/ads/42.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
