14 days is fine if the patch works straight out-of-the-box. I'd usually expect to deploy within around 10 days with a clean patch. MS04-011 did NOT work fine; in particular it's causing us BSODs and USB issues on a large number of hosts. -- James Riden / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Systems Security Engineer Information Technology Services, Massey University, NZ.
