Do I trust what my SMS agents are telling me?

| This XML update that was originally released Oct 10th and then updated Oct
19th has got me confused.
I have roughly 600 SMS clients, 150 of which would be XP machines and 450
Windows 2000.
Right now I have a little over 400 SMS clients (a mix of XP and 2000)
requesting 924191 which SMS describes as a Security update for Windows (but
updates the XML parser and Core Services), and another 532 clients
requesting 925672, described as MSXML4.0 SP2 Security update.
Obviously, I've got a lot of clients requesting both (or requesting the same
update under two different names??). Is this simply because they have
multiple versions of these XML components on their machines, all of which
need updating? These updates aren't going to stomp on each other? Should I
be deploying both?
Advice for an SMS admin (not an XML guy) appreciated.

The update released for MSXML3 was seperate from the update released for
MSXML4, even though the issue that each of these updates fixed was the same.

Yes

No they are not going to stomp on each other, yes, deploy both.

| Thanks for the reply Alex. I was fairly sure that was the case, but already
deployed to my test group prior to the Oct 19th update that added updates
for Windows 2000. I'll deploy the additional updates to that group and see
how it goes.
Thanks again,
Phil
