heh, thats just classic microsoft though, isnt it :) I think theyre going about these patches the wrong way though - they should release the individual ones as and when, then at the end/start of the month, release a mini security roll up patch - every 6 months or so ending up with a standalone patch which you can install on new machines, like a sort of security service pack.. Andrew >>> jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 09/12/03 15:18:31 >>> Hi All, A colleague of mine went to a briefing at a local training center about using SUS server to deploy patches. I had told him about how Microsoft will be releasing bulletins and patches monthly and he brought it up to them. They knew nothing about it and the Microsoft rep that was there knew nothing about it also! So I thought to myself...who does know about it? Just to be certain that I wasn't dreaming when I saw this I went out to the Microsoft Security site and sure enough on the security home page is a link to Microsofts new patch release schedule and initiative. The link is: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/ bulletin/revsbwp.asp I find it very distressing that 1. A company that is trying to help someone with SUS/MOM etc can hold a seminar and not know this and 2. Microsoft's own people do not know it. Gotta love it.
