Upcoming Update for Windows Update (FYI)

Upcoming Update for Windows Update
http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/...ws-update.aspx

<QP>
Please be aware that beginning next month, we will start an upgrade to the
Windows Update and Microsoft Update services. As a part of the service
upgrade, an update to the Windows Update and Automatic Updates client code
will be required. We will start this infrastructure update in late August,
and it will take a couple of months to complete the rollout. Updates to the
services and Windows code are required from time to time to maintain and
improve service quality, reliability, and operations. The last update
occurred in November of 2008.

This update will not change your current Windows Update or Automatic Updates
settings. It will improve the user interface for Windows Vista and Windows
Server 2008 computers running Windows Update, adding a more visible and
detailed description of updates as well as improvements in how users are
notified about service packs. This update will not change the look and feel
of Automatic Updates.

The Windows Update or Automatic Updates client software must be updated, or
you may not be able to successfully check for updates or perform other
configured actions. If Windows Update or Automatic Updates is enabled to
automatically check for updates, download updates, or install updates on
your computer then the infrastructure update will be downloaded and
installed automatically. Your computer will not be updated if you have
disabled Windows Update (or Automatic Updates) and do not check for updates.

This infrastructure update is being provided in the same way as previous
infrastructure updates. For more information about infrastructure updates
and the last infrastructure update, please refer to last year’s
infrastructure update post

Please note that this upgrade will occur silently and automatically as long
as Automatic Updates is enabled, and independent of your Automatic Updates
setting. See
