Same scenario - forced to apply several patches just to get MS05-39.
 
We did Win2k sp4->post sp4 rollup->security patches->Citrix SP4->post sp4 rollup
 
Our biggest issue was not performance but printing. Some printers which had 
been happily printing mapped to the LaserJe4 all of a sudden had garbled text 
and some which had been happily printing using the UPD (color laserjet 4500) 
started printing all in black.
 
Most of the issues have been tied back to older clients (ver. 7) and were 
resolved by upgrading to 8.
 
We tested this one. I don't think there is any way with a medium sized farm to 
forsee every possible combination of client, printer, and driver. I just assume 
the day after a major patch rollout will suck.

We were forced to apply SP4 due to ZDBOT.  the Microsoft fix for that, 
KB899588,  wouldn't run with SP3. 
Because of performance / slow logon issues with SP4 and Citrix, we also needed 
to apply:
KB816134
KB821225
KB822428

We are watching the farm closely today...Yesterday was a nightmare.

>>> thinlist@xxxxxxxxx 08/25/05 07:06AM >>>
Are people applying the SP4 rollup with the citrix patches successfully?

In other words does the citrix patch fix all the issues with the sp4
rollup? I'm wondering if I should apply it now, as windows update
doesn't show any patches that are included in the rollup, so in order
to install these patches on new builds I have to do it manually it
seems...ouch!
