Applying MS Patches to VCS servers

[StanleyS]

Hi all, I'm going to apply the following MS patches to a group of VCS nodes:

MS07-031Vulnerability in the Windows Schannel Security Package Could Allow Remote Code Execution (935840)http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-031.mspx

MS07-033Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (933566)http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-033.mspx

MS07-035Vulnerability in Win 32 API Could Allow Remote Code Execution (935839)http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/ms07-035.mspx

MS07-032For Windows Vista Only
Vulnerability in Windows Vista Could Allow Information Disclosure (931213)http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-032.mspx

Can any veritas support guys here advice me on whether the above patches will affect the VCS operations? Or is there any other way I can verify this besides testing it myself? Thank you.

I have the first 3 applied to my VCS nodes, with no adverse effects.

Thanks for the reply, is there any way I can get official response or more concrete information from Symantec?

I would imagine their response would be "VCS is supported on Windows 2003, Windows 2003 SP1 and Windows 2003 SP2". ;)

It's highly unlikely they're going to test for every hotfix.
