Since upgrading to Trend 3.0, SOME, not all, servers are having an issue 
with Update:
SMDupd: Unable to download components. Check server status or refer to 
ScanMail Help > Troubleshooting section for details.

Don't know if it's related to a change I made to the notes.ini to 
encourage a pattern update prior to starting the items that use the 
pattern files.
Detail:  I changed this line from
ServerTasks=COLSRV400,HTTP,Replica,Router,Update,AMgr,Adminp,Sched,CalConn,DIIOP,SMDemf,SMDreal,SMDsch,SMDmon
to
ServerTasks=COLSRV400,SMDupd,HTTP,Replica,Router,Update,AMgr,Adminp,Sched,CalConn,DIIOP,SMDemf,SMDreal,SMDsch,SMDmon

I fear that this confused SMDreal, etc and perhaps corrupted pattern file 
uploading.  On a few servers I had to bounce it a few times to get SMDreal 

to load.

Until I find our further what is going on I don't recommend this change to 

the notes.ini.  I bet that if you are going to try something like this 
then it might require a technique to do the SMDupd, wait until it is done, 

and then try loading the other SMD tasks and then maybe Router and 
Replica.  I have a technote somewhere that I used for a LEI issue that 
shows how to use a symbolic link to make a CL program or RPGLE program 
available to a Domino task.  Then you could start that, wait until SMDupd 
ends then fire up the rest.
