Hotfix for SCCM Task Sequence delay: KB 955955

Microsoft has released a hotfix (kb 955955) for customers who experience 'a delay' when using a task sequence to deploy 'more than 50 packages'. The hotfix sets the default 90 second pause between tasks to null.
 
The hotfix is intended for environments that are upgraded to Service Pack 1 or have hotfix 949225 installed. This hotfix was created to do introduce the 90 second delay due to the fact that SCCM 2007 RTM sometimes did not process all advertised tasks.

WDS service fails to start after reboot SCCM SP1

In multiple SCCM environments (being SCCM 2007 RTM environments that are upgraded to SP 1 on W2K3) there might be an issue with the WDS service that does not start up after the server being rebooted. On the technet forum for SCCM there are serveral reactions of people(http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3619346&SiteID=17) who have noticed the same problem in their environments. When opening services.msc and a manual start of the WDSSERVER service, the SCCM PXE related functionality is back online.
 
From the mentioned article, there is a workaround if you use a server 2008 platform, because you can set the WDSServer service to a 'delayed start', but when you use server 2003 this option is not available.
 
A few interesting observations: It seems the WDS service under the PXE Service Point still tries to start the legacy BINL service and the WDS Image server (binlsvc.dll and WdsImgSrv.dll), probably as a result of installing WDS without configuration (otherwise the PSP will not work). Both providers are set to non critical, so WDS can continue starting up.
 
It all goes wrong when SMSPXE provider errors during initialization, which is set as critical component to the WDS service. As a result the WDS service shuts down.
