re: Installing Hotfix 977384 or 2513499 with ConfigMgr 2007 logs error on execmgr and incorrectly reports as failed

One of our package engineers just found another way to install this ConfigMgr Client Hotfixes without an error: If you specify the correct MIF Name on the Reporting Tab on the Package and configure the "After running" behavior to "Program restarts computer" (the computer will not be restarted, just the ccmexec Service restarts) then the Advertisement Status will be "successful". The correct MIF Name could be found on the Hotfix.MSP File on Properties -> Details -> Revision number. The first GUID is the correct MIF name. If you create the Hotfix Package with the Hotfix Installation on the Site Server, the MIF Name and the after running Option on the Program will setup correctly.

To work around these errors, one could call a script which fires off the updates asynchronously. For example, in PowerShell, you could use the Start-Job cmdlet to create an async job.
