On my G5 and Intel servers -- after installing 10.4.10 through
software update, when I rebooted, my keychain was hosed and I had
some kind of default dock (with "?" for non-existant installs of
iphoto, imovie and imovie HD!)


After panicking for a few minutes (and rebooting the servers about a dozen times), I downloaded the combo updater from Apple and reapplied that.

Everything came back as normal after that -- even my original dock
settings.  (?)


Well, except for the oddity that the combo server .dmg file I
downloaded from Apple was nowhere to be found on the computer after
things came back to "normal"! I ran an immediate backup of my
systems after the update to see if I could find if these files were
actually on the hard disk somewhere (the Intel server combo update is
400M -- it should be easy to fined). They were just gone completely!



Be careful (and I'd recommend you download the combo updater!)

FWIW...

Was your computer in a clean state (no running apps, etc) while the
installer was doing its thing? Did you let the computer reboot twice after
the update?


I'm ajust asking because after any OS update from Apple, we seem to get one
or two "watch out! It might fuXx0r your computer!" posts here that end up
being unique to the poster.


We always see "the sky is falling" posts about the latest update. I'm exaggerating in this case but there is a pattern.

Hopefully you also had a full backup /prior/ to applying the update, yes ? Was there something in the server update that you needed and explains your reason(ing) for installing it right away ?
