Today's patches killed TCP/IP

[Blake]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general,microsoft.public.windowsupdate,microsoft.public.win2000.networking (More info?)

I have a server farm of about 50 servers (2k and 2k3). On 2 of my 2K
servers, todays updates killed TCP/IP (I am assuming it is Security Bulletin
MS05-019)

Both of these servers have QLogic HBAs installed. I was able to get one
back up and running by uninstalling TCP/IP, uninstalling MS05-019, then
re-installing TCP/IP. One is still dead.

I am afraid of installing this patch on my other servers with HBAs for fear
of killing them.

Anyone?

Support for security updates is always free. Call them at 1-866-PCSAFETY

Their support isn't free for server OSes.

We called today and their first question was ' how would you like to pay for
this call?'

It makes no difference. Did you mention the article and purpose of the call?

Small detail:
the majority of Windows licences are sold outside the US-Canada.

I bought one of those licences overhere in Belgium,
at a much higher price than a US customer would pay.

The last time I needed support for a security update
I spent +30 minutes on a regular Belgian toll-line to Brussels.

MS simply does not offer toll-free support lines
for patches outside the USA/CAN

I even had some trouble convincing the Dutch speaking MS operator that I did
not
need a credit card to get help with the security patch that
made my XP unbootable.

The way it normally works in this regard is you pay first and if the issue is determined to be from a security update then they re-imburse. That doesn't happen very often.

Actually, no. Calls to the security number are free, always have been and
always will be. If you call the regular support lines then what you suggest
is what happens.

Microsoft has 1-800 numbers many of them. I don't think the op can access them though. So although you may think I am wrong believe it when push comes to shove what I said will happen. Microsoft has first to determine the issue is a result of a security fix and when they do that the Credit Card will be reimbursed. But note that can take months.

Quoted from any security bulletin;

Support:
Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from
Microsoft Product Support Services at 1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no charge for
support calls that are associated with security updates.

International customers can receive support from their local Microsoft
subsidiaries. There is no charge for support that is associated with
security updates. For more information about how to contact Microsoft for
support issues, visit the International Support Web site.

I understand that. But Microsoft has to first determine the issue WAS from a security update. If it wasn't do you think THEN they are going to ask you to pay for the support that was given? I doubt it. Microsoft charges first then re-imburses later. Been there done that.

There is one way to avoid these support charges and only one that I know of. But just calling their Support Center with a security update issue is not one of them.

So you're saying you don't believe what you read on the page. "There is no
charge for support calls that are associated with security updates." OK

First point. 1-866-PCSAFETY probably only nets you support for security
updates.
Second point. When you tell them you install it, it is broke. You uninstall
it, it is fixed.

You think they're going to send you to paid support? I think you have left
reality George.

I appreciate the time, guys, but this isn't helping.

Uninstalling didn't fix the problem. (that was the first thing I tried). I
have 50 servers, 9 of them with QLogic HBAs (for connecting to our SAN). I
ran the updates on 10 of these servers. 8 worked fine. The 2 I ran that
have HBAs had no network access after reboot. IPCONFIG reported that the
machine had no TCP/IP capability. I removed the patches - nothing. I
uninstalled/re-installed TCP/IP - nothing. I re-applied SP 4. Nothing. I
have been afraid to apply the patches to the other servers for fear of
killing them.

I called MS - they said 'how do you want to pay for this call'.

I don't think anyone disagrees, Dave, that MS says what you posted (that the
calls are free). However, actually calling them gets a different response.

I know have 40 unpatched machines.

OK, I mis-understood. I thought removing ms05-019 was part of your fix. You
might try removing the NIC from Device Manager, restarting the machine. The
Found New Hardware wizard should start and reinstall the hardware. Seems
you've nothing to lose anyway.

I've removed it from Windows 2000 I'll be running the tool again later but I
think I have a clean bill of health. Thanks for that RootKit description.
I actually knew about this but never had the need to investigate it.

Glad to help.

What it means is if you have the symptoms a diagnosis may be in order. You doubted that a RootKit could be a part of malware. I had the symptoms and so chances are RootKit as diagnosis is NOT so far fetched. That's the reason for my analogy. Sorry it escaped you.
