Come Get Your Patch On!

Head out of sand time, people!

WSUS 3.0 dropped today.

Now, it’s my distinct opinion that a patch management system is neither a luxury nor an option anymore.

It is, quite frankly, an absolute requirement for any modern network. Like clean & uninterruptible power, a quality wiring plant, and full, verified data backups.

No matter whether the patch QC at Redmond improves or not, betting your business, or those your customers, on blind faith that patches will behave perfectly upon release is beyond naive, bordering on incompetence.

So if you haven’t implemented any earlier iteration of WSUS for one reason or another, now’s the time to get your head out of the sand.
