SBS R2 Recall

  • Article

 

Recently, Microsoft became aware during the regular audit of the product media, (CDs and DVDs as they come off the manufacturing line) that SBS 2003 R2 contained non-final versions of some of the programs. Since SBS 2003 R2 has only just released from Microsoft to our manufacturing partners (OEMs, System Builders, and Distributors), and is not yet generally available, the scope of this concern for partners and customers is very limited.

  • Because of this, Microsoft has elected to recall the limited SBS 2003 R2 production to date, and re-release SBS 2003 R2 to manufacturing. Partners, OEMs and other stakeholders have been notified, and Microsoft expects a minor delay.
  • Our customers and partners are our first priority, and while a short delay in availability of SBS 2003 R2 is unfortunate, from a long-term view, delivering the highest quality SBS 2003 R2 to our customers and partners, is the right thing to do.
