All -

We are using the Windows 2000 automatic update feature on several of our
production servers.

One of my fellow IT team members has expressed concern that Microsoft has a
bad history of releasing hotfixes which break servers. I can find lots of
anecdotal evidence that this has happened, but only a very limited number of
cases where some specific configurations were negatively impacted by hotfix
application.

Does anyone have any hard evidence that automatic updates are a Bad
Thing(tm)?

Thanks,
