2 of 20 test WSUS users experienced BSOD's after approving/installing most of the updates released yesterday. Obviouslly it makes it hard to nail which one did it, but a restore to Monday was the only way to get the BSOD to stop.

It occured 1-2 minutes after the user gets to the desktop, so I'm not sure what to suspect.

Below is what I approved, with astrisks next to what the two users downloaded and installed this morning according to WSUS.

Obviously all 20 users are on XP.

I guess I wasnt the only one..After the update my antivirus crashed, desktop went black, and a message flashed saying my windows vista wasnt valid. I had to do a system restore, but my antivirus never did come back up.

FU microsuck...Im getting closer and closer to buying a MAC.

Welllll that's vista... and a personal environment with untested software.

I'm in a corporate environment, using wsus, xp, and identically imaged workstations.

10% update failure isn't acceptable when you're working with 30 servers and 300 workstations.

If anyone has similar... and I mean that explicitly... behavior, lemmie know.
