A simple question, but I've been looking for answers in the forum and it seems I'm not able to fin them.

Why is IPSec needed for Windows Update ?

Why is Remote Management needed for Event Log ?

I've been testing A LOT of differently vlited ISOs and I've never noticed any problem with the Windows Update service or the Event Log service, though I do remove IPSec and Remote Management.

Could someone be so kind to explain me why are those elements 'linked' in the new vlite 1.2 final ? I'd like to know if something can go wrong if ... before it goes

Thanks in advance to all.

As I posted in this related link (whats causing the update loop):

http://www.msfn.org/board/whats-causing-th...713#entry799713

removing these two services may cause infinite reboots if the roll-back feature of the updates does not work.

I sure nuhi will tell us what's changed that now causes these services to be needed for proper windows update functioning. (Maybe MS changed something in the windows update engine??)

Take care,
