Regarding the Template editor problems... are those solved by just
closing MMC after saving the template? Or could things be saved
incorrectly even after closing MMC?

I have not seen the fail to save of a template issue for some time
now. It does not seem to be an issue with XP at current service
level nor with W2k3. When it was, what I found was that when
saved it did save correctly, and closing with an unsaved resulted
in a prompting to save.

Your last sentence is confusing. That sounds like the correct
behavior?


When it would save, it would save correctly.
Right clicking on it in Templates mmc would not save it,
just act like it did. Closing Templates without attempting
to save it first would result in prompt to save changes and
that would save reliably.
Moot point in any case as the error seems to have been fixed.



Regarding the SCaA problems... if I were to do an Analysis after
doing a Configure, and the Analysis looked good, then would it be safe
to assume that the Configure worked perfectly?

Yes, that has been my experience. The problem I mention is only
a reporting issue with how an analysis of the filesystem section is
displayed.

Hopefully if any problems do occur with the template editor or SCaA,
they will be obvious or unharmful ones, and not subtle ones that leave
my system in an unexpected state.


Except for the issues with permissions being set wrong or wiped
out when using the Services section, yes, most were more of the
non-damaging but annoying type (the template save issue caused
loss of work, the analysis reporting causes still confusion and
makes one drill-in instead of believing the high-level view).
The issue with Services perms was however quite harmful
to enterprises.
