Issues and improvements of my own interests:

The following are the issues that have been solve by the infrastructure update that my customers and myself have faced before:

Workflows:

  • Workflows run on e-mail-enabled lists by running as the user who designed or deployed the workflow instead of as the user who modified or created the parent item.
    Note This issue applies to e-mail-enabled items only.

Administration:

  • When you detach and then reattach a content database or when you restore a content database by using the STSADM -o command, a full crawl is not always required.
  • Resolves an issue in which log messages are duplicated and incorrectly tagged.

Configuration:

  • Support is included for Kerberos authentication to access Shared Services Provider (SSP) Web services in a server farm.

Operation:

  • After you apply the update, Microsoft Office 2003 files or 2007 Microsoft Office files that are embedded in a 2007 Office document are searchable.
  • Custom master page settings on the source site are not propagated to the destination site during deployment.

Restart:

You do not have to restart the computer after you apply this update :)
