I'll be setting up SUS SP updates to servers, only I set my servers to download and notify, not to automatically install and boot. I keep control that way.

But another question, how many here will setup SUS SP updates to Servers? i.e 100 servers all being rebooted at 3am Sunday morning ?? -----Original Message----- From: Graham Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 September 2003 09:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] SUS does SPs now 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 ??

If history repeats, it may be available sooner than later -----Original Message----- From: Crenshaw, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 1:17 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] SUS does SPs now 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.
