All, In many of my previous places, we just dump whatever MS provides as security updates (Especially the high critical ones) such as MS05-039,MS05-041 etc to our Dev and prod servers. But in my current place they have this meticulous process where they want to apply it in Dev, then release it in prod. By your experiences, have you seen any risk at all with these Security patch updates from MicroSoft (most of them seem to be IE related)? Thanks for your time Thanks, Anand.K Purity, patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success and, above all, love - Swami Vivekananda

Hi, no problems at all we also apply it on our Production and Development Server. Regards Hemantgiri S. Goswami ghemant@gmail.com "Humans don't have Caliber to PASS TIME , Time it self Pass or Fail Humans" - by Hemantgiri S. Goswami
I suggest to test them before on the development/test environment with similar configuration that matches the PRoduction one and then apply on the live ones in order to avoid any spurious issues or performance related problems.

its rare you encounter problems but they sometimes exists. check first with test server. May the Almighty God bless us all! www.empoweredinformation.com
Well, that another best option to follow and in any case always suggested to test the implications of service pack and hotfix on a test environment which can simulate the production environment.
