Computing News | Microsoft re-issues July WSUS patch

Microsoft Corp. yesterday re-issued a July fix for a bug that had prevented some network administrators from using the company's primary business patch management tool to deploy security updates.
The patch, which was posted to Windows Update Tuesday along with a raft of more than two-dozen other fixes, was the second time in the past month that Microsoft addressed an issue with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), the free add-on to Windows server software that lets companies feed security updates to client systems.
In early June, WSUS administrators discovered that they were unable to push patches to machines that had Office 2003 on-board. Microsoft determined that a synchronization bug in a recent Office 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) update was at fault, and promised a fix.
Although it delivered a patch July 10, the next day it acknowledged problems some administrators running WSUS on Windows Server 2008 had after installing the fix. "In order to successfully install this update, you must run the update as an administrator," said Microsoft in an advisory at the time.
On Aug. 1, Microsoft quietly re-issued the patch -- tweaked so it would install on Server 2008 -- and posted it on the company's download center.
Yesterday, Microsoft added the revised WSUS patch to Windows Update to make it available for automatic download and installation.
Administrators who manually downloaded and installed the re-patch between Aug. 1 and Tuesday, of course, do not need to do so again via Windows Update, Microsoft noted in a revised security advisory.
