I suspect that M$ have already started doing this. We were getting numerous
updates each week to our SUS server, but we haven't received any (other than
updated license agreements) since 22nd Nov.

The seminar that I attended today indicated the same thing. The goal of M$
is to reduce the number of downloads and patches that we must sort through
on a sometimes daily basis. But, the M$ rep also indicated that any
critical security patches that are released will not be delayed. I guess
it's a wait and see how many viruses, worms, etc. we need to deal with
before they backtrack on this new "initiative".

Microsoft security initiative is a Joke. As long as they treat it as a
public relations issue it will never get fixed.
Fwiw: I installed Win XP on another machine yesterday, after the base
install it's Windows Update time. 45 "critical patches" let along the 25 in
the "recommended" section. It takes longer to patch the OS now than it does
to install and configure it. Also, what happened to the whole Roll up patch
between Service Packs? Instead of 45 individual it would be nice to only
need to download and deploy one file. Keep the individual patches for
those who need them. I'd also say that MS is waiting too long between
Service Packs.

Subject: [THIN] Discussion: Microsoft to release patches once per month
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/secur
ity/
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.
Regards,
Jim Kenzig
