Critical Update Not Downloaded

We are told that the update described in the link below is required for one
of our servers. However, the windows update does not report it as being
required.

Are there some critical udpates that are outside of the standard Windows
Update procedures?

Thanks.

WHAT is telling you that this =2007= update is required?

And what makes the above source more reliable to you than the Windows Update
Agent?

No.

This update, MS07-040, is applicable to three .NET Framework platforms...
..NET10SP3, .NET11SP1, and .NET20RTM.

The update was superseded by .NET20SP1, which should be installed on that
server if it has .NET20 installed.

If this is a Win2003SP1 or later machine, it has .NET11SP1 installed and
this update should be applicable -- unless it's already been installed.

There are three different packages for MS07-040 that might be applicable, so
the other question is: WHICH PACKAGE...

KB928366 for .NET11SP1 systems not installed on Windows Server 2003
KB933854 for .NET11SP1 systems on Windows Server 2003
KB928365 for .NET20 systems.

This is 2003 SP2. It says that .NET 2.0 is installed, but it doesn't
mention anything at SP1.

I hope this give you a clearer picture of my question.

Is this Windows Update (the web site) or are you using a WSUS server?

Are any other updates being reported as required? (If so, Windows Update could
be offering you another update which includes this one.)
