  • Upcoming Updates for .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1

    Posted over 5 years ago
    by WSUS Team}

    Hi WSUS Admins,

    We are planning on releasing two updates related to the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. Both of these address customer feedback problems that have been reported back to us.

    The first is for the .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 that enables Firefox browsers to use ClickOnce technology. We will be releasing an update to the .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 in order to make the extension compatible with future versions of Firefox and enable the uninstall button of the add-on. This update is applicable to all machines with .NET 3.5 SP1 installed.

    Additional information about this update can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963707

    We will also be releasing a revised .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Family Update this week for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP with the .NET 3.5 SP1 language packs separated from the original update. While the detection logic has been updated, there have been no changes made to the binaries shipped. Therefore, machines that have previously installed the .NET 3.5 SP1 do not need to install this again. Machines with .NET 3.5 SP1 installed and without .NET 3.5 SP1 language packs, will receive the latter as a separate update.

    Additional information about .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951847

    Thank you!

  • Forefront Client Security (FCS) update coming to WSUS

    Posted over 5 years ago
    by WSUS Team}

    Microsoft is releasing an update to the Forefront Client Security (FCS) v1 antimalware client on Thursday, June 18th. This update includes the following changes:

    • Improvements to the FCS  kernel-mode driver.
    • A change in how the component object model (COM) is used in Software Explorers. There is an issue present, only in Windows 2000, that causes it to crash.
    • A change to how the FCS engine scans shortcut files(.lnk). The engine can now be configured to query the path to which the shortcut points; if the path is on the local computer it will scan the referenced location, if it is a network location it will not scan the reference.

     

    This update is cumulative, and can be installed on FCS v1 release client as well as all previous antimalware updates.

     

    Regards,

    WSUS Team 

  • FCS update re-offer problem resolved

    Hello WSUS Admins,

    Shortly after the release of our previously announced update for Forefront Client Security, we received reports of a previously released update for FCS (Client Update for Microsoft Forefront Client Security (1.0.1703.0)) constantly re-offering.  The Forefront team has tested and released a revision to this older update to resolve this re-offer problem, and this revision is now live for WSUS servers.

    Machines managed by WSUS servers will need to 1.) synchronize their WSUS server to download the latest revision 2.) approve the latest revision and 3.) wait for the client to re-scan against the WSUS server to receive the corrected update revision. (Note that Step 2 is not required if you have configured your WSUS server to automatically approve revisions).

    We apologize for any inconvenience this problem may have caused.

    Sincerely,
    The WSUS Team
