Just an FYI...
You can get the same notifications that MS Premier members do for free. I guess this is somthing they just started to offer. I find it helpful because it is a comphrensive email stating what is being released and what all the security updates encompass.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft has created a free e-mail notification service that
serves as a supplement to the Security Notification Service
(this e-mail). It provides timely notification of any minor
changes or revisions to previously released Microsoft Security
Bulletins. This new service provides notifications that are
written for IT professionals and contain technical information
about the revisions to security bulletins.
Visit http://www.microsoft.com to subscribe to this service:
- Click on Subscribe at the top of the page.
- This will direct you via Passport to the Subscription center.
- Under Newsletter Subscriptions you can sign up for the
"Microsoft Security Notification Service: Comprehensive Version".
Also, they updated an older Sec Bulletin, MS04-035 dealing with exchange. For everyone running WUS/SUS I suggest you configure it to 'Auto Approve' updated patches. Otherwise you might end up like I did yesterday on one of our SUS boxes, clicking 30+ check boxes... argh.
