Re: Windows update on IXS card

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

 IBM will not provide windows fixes via PTFs to WSV.  The fixes you get 
there are for the integration code (drivers basically). You will use 
standard windohs update to get fixes for windoze.  What you DO want to 
do is wait a bit before going out and loading the latest fix to make 
sure that IBM hasn't determined there are issues with the fix and the 
integration code. So far this has been very rare.
