INTRODUCTION
This article describes the Oobmig.exe tool. After you install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack (SP2), the system does not trust binaries that are installed by out-of-band updates. The Oobmig.exe tool restores trust to these out-of-band updates.

Note An out-of-band update is an update that Microsoft makes available outside the regular product shipment cycle.

Restore process
To restore trust to a particular out-of-band update, the Oobmig.exe tool performs the following steps: <ol> The tool checks the following Uninstall directory in the service pack for the catalog file that corresponds to the out-of-band update:

%windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$

</li> The tool copies the catalog file into the following directory:

%windir%\system32\catroot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}

</li> The tool automatically restarts the Cryptographic Services (CryptSvc) service so that the system registers the catalog.</li></ol>
