    We are a fairly small shop with two sites, three DC's all running Win2003.
    I installed the following Hotfixes on our PDC emulator and afterwards our
    network was in complete havoc. A number of services were failing on the PDC
    with DNS, Active Directory and numerous other errors.

    After massive amounts of stress I went back and uninstalled the two patches,
    and reconnected active directory from the other DCs it all seems back on top
    now.

    Has anyone else had problems with these patches? Or have similar eventlog
    messages? Or even more importantly does anyone think that the problem could
    be deeper?

    Regards,

    Matthew Klassen
