    Thanks for the information :)

    And, yes as Tinderbox said....

    And I would imagine for those with automatic updates enabled / at least show me available updates enabled, it would have been done automatically :) and I had a big time update yesterday which I think was part of the famed patch tuesday... but will have to check if this kb.... was there.. anyway, thanks again :)

    I do my full backup on Mondays so the second Tuesday MS updates can easily be backed out. Unlike a lot of folks, who wait for the monthly updates to settle a bit, I install them as soon as they are there.

    Oh me too, John... I prefer getting in the updates as and when they are available... I think its a good practice to do this.

    None at all.

    As long as you have a good (and tested) backup and restore scenario in place.
