Potential issue with this security patch.  Running NT 4.0 SP6a and
Exchange
5.5 SP4.

Issue is with an older version of IE on the exchange server. We were
running
IE 4.01 SP1.  The patch applies fine but upon reboot there is an error
message

        "procedure entry point wnsprintfa could not be located in the
dynamic link library shlwapi.dll"

        See MS knowledgebase Q284706

The error manifests itself with OWA (outlook Web Access) users not
seeing
any text of their emails.  They can logon fine and see the subject lines
-
but clicking on the message brings up a white page.

Resolved (with help from MS tech support) by backing off the patch,
installing IE 5.5 SP2 and re-installing the patch.  This takes several
reboots.

regards,
