Overview: Microsoft security updates, released in late February 2005, cause strange errors on some machines running Windows XP SP2. The errors include Windows Update and Windows Installer failing to function, missing icons, and various "access denied" errors. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem but not provided a fix. IT organizations should be prepared to troubleshoot these errors before Windows XP SP2 becomes mandatory on April 12, 2005.

This quick-reference task sheet provides a list of potential errors and a simple workaround.Many organizations test software updates prior to deployment, but others rely on Windows Automatic Update for simplicity. Which strategy does your organization use and why? Join the ongoing discussion and share your experiences.
