GREAT idea! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Wilcock Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2016 4:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: Microsoft set to change Windows patching in a disasterous way
This was such a great thread, we decided to make it into a BoF session at ITDev Connections :) http://www.itdevconnections.com/dc16/Public/SessionDetails.aspx?FromPage=Sessions.aspx&SessionID=1016760&SessionDateID=1000991<http://www.itdevconnections.com/dc16/Public/SessionDetails.aspx?FromPage=Sessions.aspx&SessionID=1016760&SessionDateID=1000991> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Miller, Todd Sent: 15 August 2016 21:42 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] Microsoft set to change Windows patching in a disasterous way https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/08/15/further-simplifying-servicing-model-for-windows-7-and-windows-8-1/<https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/08/15/further-simplifying-servicing-model-for-windows-7-and-windows-8-1/> Wow, this could be a disaster. We have had 4 or 5 cases in the last 12 months where we have had to delay the installation of a security update so that applications could be modified to work with updates. In a couple of cases, one ongoing, Microsoft has released a security update, then acknowledged a bug in that update and released a fix several months later. We currently have KB3170455 denied in our environment because it breaks point - and -print driver installation. In the new world, I will need to decide which is worse - no security updates for 3 months, or break printing for all non-admin users. Currently I can decide to pull or hold an individual patch, but it looks like that option is being removed from Windows 7 and 8. This comes at a time where it seems like patch quality has hit a rough patch, making this decision more troubling. ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521 and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
