Hotfix information

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing the problem described in this article. This hotfix might receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next software update that contains this hotfix.

If the hotfix is available for download, there is a "Hotfix Download Available" section at the top of this Knowledge Base article. If this section does not appear, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain the hotfix.

Note If additional issues occur or if any troubleshooting is required, you might have to create a separate service request. The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for this specific hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Customer Service and Support telephone numbers or to create a separate service request, visit the following Microsoft website:

(http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support)

Note The "Hotfix Download Available" form displays the languages for which the hotfix is available. If you do not see your language, it is because a hotfix is not available for that language.

When you install the update, the computer resets the System Center Online Point server role. This restarts the AI_UPDATE_SERVICE_POINT service. However, the service might not start in certain environments because the AI_UPDATE_SERVICE_POINT service does not start in 30 seconds. In this situation, use Method 3 that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article 941990 to extend the service startup time-out value to 150 seconds.
