KB95082? shouldn't that be 6 digits?
MS Support (Dutch) informs me that the KB article number is supposed to be 6 digits and not 5.
Is KB950082 required on DPM servers or on protected systems?
Both this post and KB948680 say that DPM2007 can run on Server 2008, but much of the TechNet material hasn't been updated..
Cheers.
