An SEB is defined at NTBugTraq as "...Windows NT to react in anything but an expected fashion". As a subscriber to this list, I try to keep the systems for which I am accountable up to par.

The inability to successfully complete installation of a "Critical Windows Update" on Win2K Serv boxes is a bug, leaving a significant exploit. The statement "The following updates were not installed. To try again, click the Back button below" returned by "http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/" does not benefit the user / administrator. Upon dozens of attempts such a basic message only offers frustration. Did I miss the News Release that Critical Updates were to be used from now on only as forms of entertainment to those whom can be gratified by watching a progress bar?

There must become a method in forcing critical updates to occur. If it is requested, it happens - PERIOD!!!
