Hey Mark, OK, let me re-phrase this... they didn't fix some thing, they actually broke something dealing with UP DEPENDANCIES. What's happening, is that even when a service down is propagated up to a parent object, any other objects that have an UP DEPENDANCY set to the same parent object, take on the "SERVICE DOWN" appearance in the graphical map (i.e. it propagates down to all of the other items connected to it when the UP DEPENDENCY is set on the child object even though nothing is really down). I'll be calling voice support on this shortly, but thought others may have seen the same type of behavior but didn't know what it was.
For reference: Win2K system with SP4, Dell Optiplex GX110 (766Mhz, 384MB RAM), WUG v8.0 upgraded to v8.04HF1 using one patch at a time over the course of last year as they were released. No unexpected issues prior to these last two patches (v8.04 and v8.04HF1). ------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Harrell, SPII Network Infrastructure - Tallahassee Fla.

I about freaked out when everything in the top level map showed as "DOWN" when the subnet icon for the child maps propagated a "DOWN" status into each parent map and the patches changed the way the dependancy worked (I didn't realize I had the dependency set up on it so when it actually worked as it should have, I didn't know what had happened and thought something had seriously gone wrong with our network only to find out it was a wild goose chase). Finally ended up fixing the issue by removing the dependency between the two objects and we're good to go now, but it sure caught me by surprise when it happened... Also glad to see that the updates are cumulative (with the exception of Hot Fixes issued after it)... ------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Harrell, SPII Network Infrastructure - Tallahassee Fla.

For what it's worth, v8.04 HF1 performs a checksum - it cannot be accidentally applied to anything earlier than v8.04.

Are these WUG patches/fixes Cumulative? I mean, My existing WUG is WUG 8.03HF1. After the release of WUG 8.03 Hotfix 1, IPSwitch had released 8.03 Hotfix 2. Now, I am planning to install 8.04 Patch. To do this Do I need to install 8.03 Hotfix 2 OR Can I directly install 8.04 Patch and Fix for this patch..... Conclusion: I have installed WUG 8.0. If I install 8.04 Patch 8.04 and Patch Hotfix 1, will these two fix all the problems rectified in 8.01 to 8.03? Pls advice me...
