[THIN] Re: Windows 2000 Update Rollup 1 WARNING

For anyone still on W2K SP3, hotfix 883939 (IE Cumulative Security patch)
apparently has this same effect. Same patch on SP4 is okay.

Subject: [THIN] Re: Windows 2000 Update Rollup 1 WARNING

Timely information, I was just going to post the following that came
from one of our Vendors:

Yesterday, Microsoft released Windows 2000 Update Rollup 1 for Service
Pack 4. Citrix has been receiving reports that, after applying this
Update Rollup to servers, users are no longer able to connect to
Citrix MetaFrame XP servers. The session begins to launch and hangs at
a blue background. The Windows GINA is never called to continue the
session.

Current information

This has only been reported with MetaFrame XP, however, it is very
possible that this issue could affect Presentation Server 3.0 and
Presentation Server 4.0 environments as well. The problem only appears
to occur with Windows 2000 client machines. At this point, users
connecting from Windows XP workstations are not affected by the issue.
RDP connections to the server are also not affected.

Full details on this issue are not yet available. Citrix and Microsoft
are working together to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
Currently, the only known workaround is to remove the Update Rollup 1
to restore the connections.
