Redhat Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Microsoft delays patch management toolLast modified: July 13, 2004, 7:50 AM PDTBy Mike RicciutiStaff Writer, CNET News.comCompanies expecting a new patch management tool from Microsoft this summer will have to wait a little longer.Microsoft said Tuesday that Windows Update Services, a new tool designed to let system administrators keep PCs and servers up to date with the latest patches and bug fixes, won't ship until sometime in the first half of next year. The tool, which entered testing in March, was supposed to debut this year.The company said the delay will allow developers to incorporate changes suggested by people who tested the product. Also, Microsoft developers are busy with a new Automatic Updates agent that will be incorporated into Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), a long-awaited revamp of Windows XP. The necessary integration of Automatic Updates into SP2, and required testing, in part contributed to the delay, according to the company. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+delays+patch...ml?tag=nefd.top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
