[ISSForum] IIS webserver outage (System Scanner XPU 36 update)

Subject: [ISSForum] IIS webserver outage (System Scanner XPU 36 update)
Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 12:29:44 -0400
Has anyone ever seen the following situation?

 

Earlier this morning I pushed out System Scanner XPU 36 to some of our
System Scanner agents.

 

For some reason, when applying XPU 36 to servers running IIS webservers,
it caused the IIS webserver to re-start.

 

This caused a considerable outage.

 

Could you please let me know why XPU 36 could have impacted the IIS
webservers in such a way?

 

Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
