Have just picked up on this thread of SUS - looks a real winner

would be glad for the views of the positioning of this product relative to
SMS ??

There is actually a current WU beta along those lines...

If history repeats, it may be available sooner than later

You should see a "roll-back/recall" in SUS 2.0.  I didn't hear about the
SP's being available in SUS until this morning when I saw that it was
something that was available to be published, so something or someone must
have pulled the trigger for this to happen.  Being an Enterprise customer of
Microsoft, they usually go way out of their way to ensure that we know about
major upcoming changes before going live with them.

I guess Microsoft is tired of getting slammed with deployment problems for
SP's.  For anyone not using SMS, UpdateExpert, or something else along those
lines, deploying SP's enterprise wide can be a task within itself.

It's too bad that Microsoft doesn't offer patches in a two prong manner.
One being you can just install the one "hotfix" for a particular problem and
the other would be a complete rollup with every patch released for a
particular OS.

Of course, it is easy to say that from a customer side.  I don't have to
write or manage any of the changes; I just have to work with what I am
given.
