Top 10 Absolute Worst Windows Applications in 2007

Microsoft Patches Blocked for Some Admins

Microsoft on Monday said it is working on a patch to correct an issue that has rendered some administrators using System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 unable to download and install last week's security updates. On Friday evening, Redmond confirmed what it called "a deployment issue affecting customers using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 servers with Systems Management Services 2003."

"Our initial investigation has shown the issue only affects Configuration Manager 2007 customers; no other detection or deployment technology is affected," wrote Christopher Budd, security response communications lead for Microsoft, in an e-mail on Friday to Redmondmag.com. "Additionally, only customers who are running Configuration Manager 2007 servers with SMS 2003 clients are affected."

Once dubbed Systems Management Server, SCCM helps corral components and settings for system administrators who maintain large groups of Windows-based machines. Among the program's chief attributes is that it enables administrators at a given enterprise to perform patch management, software distribution and operating system deployment in addition to keeping track of hardware and software inventory. In response to user complaints, on Friday Redmond issued Security Advisory (954474), which offers guidance to clients and channel partners running the program.

Deploying Windows in a Virtual World

Matt Graven: Virtualization is an important technology that most every infrastructure should be taking advantage of. It reduces hardware dependence by essentially creating a hardware abstraction layer. But while the deployment of virtual systems doesn't have to be different than the deployment of physical systems, there are some good reasons for why you should make it different.



In the December installment of "The Desktop Files", Wes Miller explains how to set up virtualization in your organization, how to avoid the most common pitfalls, and how to deploy virtualization across a number of machines in your environment.  You'll learn how to use Sysprep, efficiently manage drivers, and gracefully handle unique values such as MAC addresses.

Microsoft Releases WGA Bypass Tool to OEMs

With the introduction of Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA), a computer must be validated as genuine prior to receiving security patches from Windows Update. Windows must first be activated for the validation tool to run, however most system builders do not activate computers on behalf of the end user. This poses a problem for system builders who want to sell systems pre-patched with updates but not enable automatic updates.

The System Builder Bypass tool (sbbypass.exe) will allow system builders to download and install critical updates on new PCs without the requirement to activate or validate. Download the System Builder Bypass tool. Need to be member of OEM system builder site.

The System Builder Bypass tool is to be used to assist system builders with building a new PC, and thus requires sysprep to be running in factory mode. An internet connection is required to download critical updates.

  • Prepare Windows for duplication from one computer to another computer.
  • Change security identifiers (SIDs) and other system and configuration settings to make them unique.
  • Configure user-specific information to be customized by the end-user when Windows starts the first time.
  • Create images of operating systems.
  • Duplicate disks.
  • Automate the Windows mini-Setup program.
  • Perform auditing tasks.

Office 2007 SP1 Update Availability Clarification

Bobbie Harder: Posting this as I've noted just a little bit of confusion with how Office 2007 SP1 is made available for download after it's release yesterday. As you know, Office 2007 SP1 was released yesterday to Microsoft Update, and to WSUS as part of the Tues, Dec 11th release.



As planned, Office 2007 SP1 was not pushed via Automatic Updates. There has been some confusion where Windows Vista customers are seeing Office 2007 SP1 listed as available with an option to install in their Windows Update control panel applet. The new Vista experience of the Windows Update applet combines the convenience of the Microsoft Update site, by isting all applicable available updates, and the best of the Automatic Updates behavior. This allows users to specify what update types they want to automatically download and install (and when), as well as combines the interactive experience of the Microsoft Update site.

The Microsoft Update Catalog site can be used with System Center Configuration Manager 2007 to deploy updates that are not automatically synchronized with WSUS.

Business Desktop Deployment 2007 Update Rollup Released

Microsoft has released an update rollup for the Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007. The update rollup supports Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP Professional. The update includes all updates to BDD 2007 since the release version of January 2007.

Issues that are fixed in the update rollup:
- When you try to use BDD 2007 to back up a computer, the backup is not saved to the hard disk. This problem may occur if the ComputerBackupLocation line is not set to a value in the CustomSettings.ini file. By default, this line is blank.
- When you use the BDD 2007 Workbench to package hotfixes and updates for deployment to computers on the network, not every hotfix is installed.
- When you use BDD 2007 in a 64-bit operating system to configure a 32-bit deployment point, the 64-bit versions of some files are copied to the deployment point.

and much more...

Microsoft have updated their Windows 7 site with a download link for the Windows 7 beta. It would appear from the posting that Microsoft is currently readying site updates and download servers for the imminent release of the Windows 7 beta. Yesterday, German site Winfuture claimed that the beta would be released today and this could confirm the sites claims. The download link is currently inaccessible. It's entirely possible that once the page is live it will simply be a sign up page to register your interest.
