Recently there was an issue where Win7 sp1 was put on WSUS and then due to default settings in SBS, it was automatically applied. Depending on if it was installed with other updates, in some cases it failed miserably leaving you with a "C34" error (see
blogs below for references).
Many of you then googled and found references to editing the pending.xml file which got you immediately back in business, but put the system in what is now called a 'torn' state, i.e. 1/2 rtm, 1/2 sp1.
To get a feel of the true impact I'd like to find out the following. Can you please email me at susan-at-msmvps.com with the following information?
How many PCs under your control were impacted?
How many MS support cases did you open?
Thank you in advance for this info.
