• WSUSSCN2.CAB Now Available for MS11-100

    Due to the urgency of the MS11-100 release on December 29, 2011, the WSUSSCN2.CAB offline catalog file was not available at the time of the MS11-100 release.

    A revised WSUSSCN2.CAB offline catalog file including MS11-100 has been released and is available to support SMS 2003 ITMU, MBSA (in offline mode) and 3rd party tools that rely on this offline data source.

    WSUS (3.x), SCCM, SBS, SCE and MBSA (in online and WSUS modes) were not affected as they use a direct (online) link to Microsoft.com or a local WSUS server as their data source.
