Hannes,
just out of curiosity - how do they install other system updates that
require restart?

18002. 18000 was the original release, but the KMDF inside it had an
install bug. They quickly released 18001 with KMDF removed, and then 18002
with the fixed one.

18002 - thanks!

I did eventually find this WDK on MSDN, it is called "Windows Driver Kit –
Server 2008 Release SP1".

Thanks both for your help!

I am not sure. I guess they install one embedded device at a time, rebooting
etc as neccessary.
