The updated patch still had problems on my server. Here is my take on the
patches.

After installing the patches this happened:

First Patch: Mail began to accumulate in SMTP local delivery queue. When an
attempt to connect and deliver was made, STORE.EXE took both CPUs to 100%
and hung there.

Updated Patch: Mail began to accumulate in SMTP local delivery queue. When
an attempt to connect and deliver was made, STORE.EXE took one CPU to 100%
and hung there.

My remedies:

First Patch: Uninstalled the patch, reinstalled exchange, installed relevant
hotfixes but not "the patch."

Updated Version: Unistalling the patch seems to have brought things back to
normal.

Does anyone know if a third version is in the works or if I should keep
trying to make the second version work on my machines?
