Hi Hamid,
Something we learnt to do(the hard way as befits things that stay learnt)
was to have the OS mirrored on hot swaps. We pull a drive before we patch
and then let it run. If anything goes wrong we can shut down and swap to the
'old' pre patch drive and voila, back up and running.
Not much help to you at the mo, but I'm glad you've told me before I patch
this week!
What manufacturer is the server?

Murad

Subject: New MS patches crashed my 2k3 SP1 PDC

Hi list ,

After deploying new set of microsoft patches released
this months , we experienced a heavy crash on out
domain controller systems which are based on windows
2003 SP1 !
just after a clean install of last 5 patches ,
windows will no more boot ! nice blue screen of death
is what MS dedicated to us !
another friend of mine , in his own network
experienced the same . cool point is that _ONLY_ PDC
systems are affected to this unexpected crash . no
other 2k3 SP1 server had any problem with patches .

anyone else have had same problem ?
what the hell is going wrong ?
