Today's patches killed TCP/IP

I have a server farm of about 50 servers (2k and 2k3). On 2 of my 2K
servers, todays updates killed TCP/IP (I am assuming it is Security Bulletin
MS05-019)

Both of these servers have QLogic HBAs installed. I was able to get one
back up and running by uninstalling TCP/IP, uninstalling MS05-019, then
re-installing TCP/IP. One is still dead.

I am afraid of installing this patch on my other servers with HBAs for fear
of killing them.

Anyone?

Support for security updates is always free. Call them at 1-866-PCSAFETY

Small detail:
the majority of Windows licences are sold outside the US-Canada.

I bought one of those licences overhere in Belgium,
at a much higher price than a US customer would pay.

The last time I needed support for a security update
I spent +30 minutes on a regular Belgian toll-line to Brussels.

MS simply does not offer toll-free support lines
for patches outside the USA/CAN

I even had some trouble convincing the Dutch speaking MS operator that I did
not
need a credit card to get help with the security patch that
made my XP unbootable.

Their support isn't free for server OSes.

We called today and their first question was ' how would you like to pay for
this call?'

It makes no difference. Did you mention the article and purpose of the call?

Did you read this article?

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

The way it normally works in this regard is you pay first and if the issue is determined to be from a security update then they re-imburse. That doesn't happen very often.

Actually, no. Calls to the security number are free, always have been and
always will be. If you call the regular support lines then what you suggest
is what happens.
