Sigh - ran into a driver issue with EMC san and Windows 2003 SP1.
Blue screen after applying SP1. Turns out I should have done my research. There is a minimum driver level required for Emulex 9802-E when running SP1.
So much for backwards compatibility in a stable OS series.

New BOT
Must be a bad Microsoft week - we found a new BOT on the network - infected 3 machines and was able to reboot Windows 2003 fully patched sans SP1.

Patchwork
Ran into a problem with a custom Windows build today when applying MS05-051 (KB902400).
Our build had tweaked permission on stuff inside the %SYSTEMROOT%, including removing EVERYONE permissions in places.
With the patch applied this borked the "Network Connections" service. Symptoms were no network connections listed in "Network Connections". Also, when checking dependency tree for the "Network Connections" service a "Win32: access denied" popup would appear instead of the expected results.
Fix was to add "Network Service" or "EVERYONE" READ ACL on %SYSTEMROOT\Registration directory. Not sure what the security implications are yet.
