  The Servicing forum is for discussing the servicing releases for the Configuration Manager family of products and sharing community knowledge about keeping Configuration Manager environments updated.  This includes questions about hotfixes, cumulative updates/rollups, service packs and serviceability best practices.  Questions on or troubleshooting for other product features should still take place in the appropriate forum for the feature.

  For an overview of hotfix installation for Configuration Manager 2007 please see the following article:
