What can you expect in WSUS 3.0?

Ever since I've become aware of the SUS/WSUS program I've been asking for two very simple things. Office 2K and Load-From-Disk Support.

Can we please get Office 2K support? Office 2K is used heavily throughout the Government and Commercial world, even though it is old.

The ability to load patches off of a removeable disk would be extremely useful. I'm on a network with a maximum bidirectional data rate of 32 kilobits a second. I routinely see ping times of close to 1000ms. A large sevice pack can take WEEKS to download.

I've found a tool (OHotFix) that is a stop gap, but it'd be more useful to see it integrated into WSUS.

Thanks,

SeaGROL

In regards to:

>Mandatory Updates
>>This exists in the final version. When >>approving an update for installation, a date >>deadline can be specified, after which the >>client cannot reject the update.

I believe that this doesn't accurately resolve the problem.

When establishing installation deadlines, it overrides all other settings and forces a reboot of the workstation if necessary.

Mandatory updates are different - what is needed is a way to prevent the end-user from "unchecking" updates to be installed *WITHOUT* establishing a deadline, which would do things like reboot the workstations with unsaved work or production servers!

Deadlines are of minimal use - I quickly learned to avoid them in WSUS. We desperately need a *real* Windows policy enforcement option to prevent users from thinking "they know better" than the IT security staff.

I hope the deadline installation will respect the no autorestart.

More reboot options required for mobile users. When they connect to WSUS after a patch deadline has passed, the download, installation & reboot time is undeterministic - which means the user can be reboot while he least expects it losing his work. At least the max 30min countdown period should be increased.

1) It would be nice if there is a way to find the directory and filename of an update (in case we want to get the file and install it manually).

2)The superseded updates should be automatically and hierarchically get declined or not approved (which will mark them for deletion) after the superseding update gets approved for installation.

[Reducing the complexity around approving for detection:
Basically in 3.0 the whole notion of approved for detection goes away - so we'll always have stats on which updates are needed etc. This allows us to build views where you can see which updates are unapproved & needed by clients which should help make it simpler to decide which updates to test 1st.]

Does this effectively mean that the 'Not Approved' status will disappear too, leaving just 'Install' and (presumably) a new 'Don't Install' as the only approval options? I hope, in that case, that the in-place upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 will automagically change 'Not Approved' to be 'Don't Install'? :)
