Yes there are numerous instances where that can be problematic, much depends on the source of the HF's or QFE's involved. A couple of examples-

Hey all, I am starting (finally) to deploy XP SP1 and 2000 SP3 to our 1500 clients. I am wondering if when they get updates (q-patches, etc) from Windowsupdate, a SUS server, or scripts that I run, if the Service Pack will overwrite any newer files. So say they get a patch that is Pre-SP2 and then SP1 comes along, will it overwrite those changes? I am deploying the SPs via GPO. The patches will usually be via SUS in the future (windows update). Thanks for any advice.
