That documentation might helps us fix your specific issues, if you can
provide it.

Possibly. What specific symptoms and errors are you seeing?

Okay, this is different. RAS is "corrupted" or you "can't download
secuirty updates"?

$10,000 a week and you didn't call and open an incident? Especially
when if it's truly a bug you aren't even charged the support call?
>Any help on this abortion aka W2K appreciated !!!
Can't help much without some specifics, sorry. Provide error
messages, event log entries and a list of changes you made to the
system in addition to installing and uninstalling the service pack.

We both know you aren't actually carrying through on this. If you
were, you could have siwtched during the two weeks you were bleeding
money. For a couple days' worth of your loss you could have
overnighted a completely configured Linuz system.

Pick up the phone. At your rate, assuming your business ran 24x7, you
lost $60 an hour. You could have paid for most of the support
incident to resolve this with the money you lost between breakfast and
lunch.
And again, post the problem you're having. We may be able to point
you to a solution.
