I’ve been speaking with a few colleagues regarding August’s Microsoft security patches, I’ve noticed a few web applications which have stopped working after the patches have been installed, it’s quite possibly due to the underlying application code, but do check the patches on your development/staging systems before running on production if you’re concerned. I’ve yet to identify which patch is the problem, as I find out more, I’ll post an update.
