[MERGED] More Windows Updates on 11th Jan
 
Just had this emailed by MS (I subscribe to Update email alerts)

On 11 January 2005 the Microsoft Security Response Center is planning to release:
- 3 Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Windows. The greatest maximum severity rating for these security updates is Critical. These security updates may require a restart.

Although we do not anticipate any changes, the number of bulletins, products affected, restart information and severities are subject to change until released.

At this time no additional information on these bulletins such as details regarding severity or details regarding the vulnerability will be made available until 11 January 2005.

Hmm...?

And, it's tucked away as an off-topic post in a different forum with no hint.

I don't have time to read the whole forum... :rolleyes:

A situation not helped by the spate of Search problems that we've been experiencing lately :p:

Oh rats, I just spent a few hours over Xmas making sure all the patching for the works PCs was up to date. Now I'll have to check them all again :(

Yes, plus the fact that I felt it was worthy of its own topic anyway (despite not knowing it would be a duplicate).

Why do mods (on any forum) treat the posters as though it's some sort of kindergarten?

Strange all 3 mspx links work here, they launch the appropiate microsoft technet artical where you can find the relevant link to the correct download for different operating systems affected.

by the way, the mods don't treat posters on the forum like a kindergarden they just prefer not to have loads of duplicated threads sitting in different areas of the board. The number of moved and merged threads will point to that, unnecessary duplications of threads/ posts etc just increases the ammount of information the database has to hold and search through.

But the thread tucked about 5-6 pages down in a different forum! With the search not working then it was a bit harsh.

Maybe the kindergarten comment was a bit extreme, but it was rather patronising just posting the link to a thread hidden in the depths of the board...

LOL yeah but that's what they do, would probably help if they had quoted the post but never mind. Not always easy to find things using search either, especially if you want to look and see if a particuar url has been posted.

So we're all adults, or most of us anyway, and they disable the search (for good reason at the time), we all have things to do, and yet THEY expect us to scour through threads looking for an off-topic post about three pages down!

Besides I thought it was worth its own thread.

Wasn't necessarily an ongoing thread- I was just saying I'd already posted this a week ago... In general I think you lot do a good job compared to other forums (DS)

Don't you use SUS (Software Update Services) ?
Once I've approved an update, it gets d/loaded and install on 500 w/stations (nope, not the servers ;-)
