MS KB948110 (Also KB948110-v2) Do not install on SBS 2003

About a month ago I installed the Microsoft Update onto our SBS2003 domain controller. All the services started successfully and everything looked OK until the next morning.

Users were reporting that the PPTP VPN was no longer available. Checking the logs I found nothing out of place (Routing and RAS was started and the snap-in didn’t report any issues). I rolled back the Windows Updates and the PPTP became active.

I’ve just attempted to install the v2 update to the KB article and the same problems occur. Do not install this update!

There is an “official” MS blog post however there is nothing noting the PPTP issues that occurred for me. I actually posted a comment with my particular situation on the comments page – however they haven’t approved the comment. http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2008/07/09/hold-off-on-installing-hotfix-948110-on-sbs-2003-servers.aspx

Microsoft’s KB article didn’t uncover any reasons why my PPTP connectinos failed – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948110
