This morning I received notice from Microsoft about a potential issue with WSUS 3.0 - specifically installations that serve updates to clients running Office 2003. If you are running Office XP or Office 2007 this issue *should not* impact you. I say *should not* since this is a new issue, and also because...

Well... for the handful of people wondering where I've been lately - wonder no more. I'm baaaack! :) A few things have contributed to my lack of blogging: 60+ hour work weeks (this will change soon) Technical writing burn-out. I wrote two whitepapers for Microsoft to coincide with the launch of WSUS...

The biggest shock from day two was the number of people who didn't realize WSUS 3.0 went gold over a month ago . I discovered this yesterday while working the WSUS booth in the Technical Learning Center (TLC). Probably 30-40% of the people who stopped by the booth were surprised to learn WSUS 3.0 was...
