This is not a bug per se, rather a report of behavior in the installation of
this patch which is not documented in the Security Bulletin.
I frequently install patches on production servers during business hours,
and postpone the required reboot until after business hours for obvious
reasons. Furthermore, most of the servers I am responsible for are remote
and therefore require the use of Windows 2000 Terminal Services Remote
Administration. Once the w2KSP2SRP1.exe patch has been installed, Terminal
Server connections to the server in question are disabled until the server
has been rebooted. If an Administrator is unaware of this issue and
disconnects the Terminal Server session after installing the patch, he is
then unable to reconnect to the server to initiate the required reboot.
Additionally, if the server is an Application mode Terminal server, users
are no longer able to connect to the server.
