There have been a couple of reports of problems regarding the new UpdateRollup 1 package for Windows 2000. One user on the Patch Management mailing list said he's having problems with printing after installing the update. His system prints much slower now. Another person said he experienced 100% CPU utlization on two Citrix Metaframe servers after installing the update. He removed the update, rebooted the servers, and the problem went away.
Have you experienced any problems with Update Rollup 1?
NEVER install Windows service packs or rollups on Citrix servers right after they are released. You're just asking for trouble...

We lost access to all published applications after installing the rollup. Unreal that MS did not test this.

After installing the rollup the system didn't boot again so we had to re-install the OS. Now we have lost IIS services, remote desktop, exchange server etc.

UR1 breaks the Metaframe XP licensing for FR2 and FR3... You either have to set the Feature Releae to NONE or FR1.

Installation of rollup caused major problems with printing system on 2 servers. Print-server functionality totally hosed. Removal of rollup did not fix problem Spent 2 hours on phone with MS tech support (free) tweaking print registry and whacking dll's before service restored.

Installed on about 10 servers. Only one hosting printers had a problem (Print Spooler crashed), which was corrected by installing all post updates from Microsoft Update. This server had questionable operation before install anyway (needs to be rebuilt).
Remember always follow best practices when installing service packs, update rollups, etc. Review all documentation thoroughly, make backups, have a recovery plan. Pre-install, clean up hard drives and defrag. Clean boot the system, install and reboot.

No problems thus far. Only issue is that our Update Expert patch deployment software doesn't recognise that all the individual patches have been deployed, I'm sure they will release an update for this shortly.
