- Microsoft Windows Server 2003

If a partition is scratch installed to 7.2 and
a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 NWSD is restored to the
partition, it is essential that PTF SI56829 be loaded and applied
either before the restore of the NWSD or before varying on any Windows Server 2003. If the
PTF is not loaded on a partition that has been scratch installed and
a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 NWSD is restored on to
the partition, when the server is started the synchronization can
cause the Windows Server
to become unusable by deleting needed binary files.
