This month’s batch of security patches from Microsoft will be a record-breaking one: 16 bulletins addressing a whopping 49 security vulnerabilities. According to the company’s advance notice, four of the 16 bulletins will be rated “critical,” Microsoft’s highest severity rating. Microsoft rates a critical vulnerability as one that could be exploited to propagate an Internet worm without user action. The 49 vulnerabilities will mark the largest ever batch of patches issued by Microsoft. The previous record was 34 vulnerabilities patched in August this year. The October patch batch will include fixes for security flaws in the Windows operating system, the Internet Explorer browser, Microsoft Office and the .NET Framework. It is very likely that Microsoft will include patches for a pair of elevation of privilege vulnerabilities that were exploited during the mysterious Stuxnet worm attack. The flaws in this month’s release affect all version of Windows, including the newest Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. via > http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/ms-planning-patch-tuesday-whopper-16-bulletins-49-vulnerabilities/7433?tag=content;feature-roto

just as Peter says, if you follow the Deploy Server 2008 guide it'll show you how to do just that, cheers niall

if it's not detected by configmgr then it won't work with it, i don't recall reading any support for USB 3.0 devices with configmgr, i would guess that is coming in R3 or if not, in vNext cheers niall

good work, is it functioning correctly now ?

add the computer to a collection that you are advertising office 2007 to, and make that collection membership based on a query which is an Active Directory security group membership

i'm sure people would love to read how you did it all, so feel free to share the info

I just wanted to post a quick note to say how happy I am to have received a 2010 Microsoft® MVP Award (SCCM), it was a very pleasant surprise as I read the email on my phone while stuck in traffic on my way home from work. I want to thank a few people for guiding me on the right path, in particular Aidan Finn for his superb advice and support, to Jason Sandys for his guidance and support and to the following in no particular order, Rod Trent (http://www.myitforum.com), Kent Agerlund, Ronni Pedersen, Michael Petersen, Stefan Schorling, Peter Van Der Woude and the rest of the great folks at windows-noob.com !! I also owe a great deal to my family for their patience and understanding while I worked towards this goal, the long nights and countless hours are paying off, and I'm going to make it up to you !! and last but not least, Microsoft, for giving me the award !!!! and giving us SCCM. thanks ! cheers niall

Internet Explorer 9 Beta made its debut earlier this month and was met with warm reception by our customers and partners. As we have talked about previously, one of the ways we measure success for IE is through customers choosing our latest product offerings. This month that means we get to expand our usage share conversation to include IE9 Beta. Net Applications’ browser usage share report released today shows IE9 Beta usage share at 0.25% for the two weeks after launch. The tech enthusiast community is observing a notable increase in IE9 activity: LiveSide reported IE9 Beta users accounted for 25% of their reader base, IE9 overtook IE6 users at DownloadSquad, and Network World reported poll results showing 47% of people intend to try IE9 Beta. Additionally, we saw tweets from the likes of Ed Bott who noticed, “Halfway through Day 1 of IE9 availability, 8% of my ZDNet visitors are using the beta. Steady increase all day, higher than IE7.” Over the past few months we’ve discussed Internet Explorer 8’s prominence worldwide. Following earlier trends, IE8 continued its growth this month, making our browser usage share growth 0.57% for our current offerings (IE8 and IE9) in September. We are pleased to report that customers are choosing more modern browsers, as evident by the continued decline of IE6 and IE7 usage (drops of 0.63% and 0.50% respectively in September according to Net Applications). This is goodness for the industry as a whole. Two weeks after IE9 Beta launch, we continue to see great reactions from our customers. As of today, IE9 Beta has been downloaded 6 million times, which is two and half times what we saw with IE8 Beta in a similar timeframe. Plus, a great many users are researching and testing the new features in IE9 with over 30 million page views to the Beauty of the Web site. We look forward to seeing more and more people enjoy a beautiful web with IE9.

no nothing is wrong, when you upgrade to SP2 then you have to rebuild any custom boot images, the boot images in your screenshot are the new versions that can support Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, if you are not using a custom boot image then do nothing further apart from verify that your task sequences reference the new boot images and that they are distributed to your dp's

well you could target the machine with a task sequence that just restores the user state and make it mandatory, p.s. my name is Niall not andy

is there cisco switches involved ? if so is portfast set to enabled or disabled ?

nice to hear it and hope you link back to here in whatever document/seminar/etc you release and it's great to see you Citrix guys here !

you can use one task sequence to do this but it does require running on both systems, obviously, plus the logic behind it will probably need some work, however you can start with a standard task sequence and work from there once the computer association is in place

what do you mean it didnt work ? did you update the collection membership/refresh ?

yes of course you can remove the client browse to the ccm installation folder on the pc (your path may be different depening on OS and ARchitecture) open a command prompt, browse to C:\Windows\ccmsetup and enter the following ccmsetup.exe /uninstall wait 5 minutes and refresh the control panel you should see the icons are gone cheers niall

try the following Query instead, notice the use of = instead of like All Windows 7 systems select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from sms_r_system where OperatingSystemNameandVersion = '%Workstation 6.1%' All Windows Vista Systems select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion = "%Workstation 6%"

youll need the Quest plugin, you can get it from here

what reg key are you trying to add/edit ? and how ? are the systems 64 bit ?

it should be possible, what have you tried so far ?

try disabling your firewall and then run the site discovery again, does it work ? also try to repair the install by clicking on Repair in the components tab

just after a client is installed and before it get's it's policies from the configmgr server, it will appear like you say, with just two actions, under the advanced tab if you click on Discover what happens ? additionally you can initiate the two actions that are present and about 5 minutes later watch to see if the client actions tab gets the new policies (refresh your view/f5)

first of all why are you trying to remove the client ? what is wrong with having it installed ?

The word on the street is that Microsoft is going to be showing off some gear in both London and New York City on October 11th. So far we’ve been able to confirm that it’s a bunch of products, and while the company isn’t specifically confirming that it’s going to show off Windows Phone 7, it does list Windows Phone 7 along with a bunch of other products, when talking about how the company is releasing a bunch of gear this holiday season. Earlier this month I wrote about my experience with Windows Phone 7. In short, it’s a nice interface but I’m still not sure why someone would switch to Windows Phone 7 or even choose it over iPhone, Android or BlackBerry at this stage. Also, it appears that even though Microsoft is launching Windows Phone 7 in Europe first, the company is already set to launch with AT&T, according to the video below that SlashGear dug up. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth watching since it shows you how your current phone requires you to miss life’s moments–in a very comical way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvV6_t3crlk via > http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-gadgeteer/windows-phone-7-to-be-unleashed-october-11th/3924?tag=mantle_skin;content
