[WinPartners] MIT WSUS - roll-up or not ?

[Richard Edelson]

Hi Brandon,

Microsoft is working out some bugs with WSUS deploying the Enterprise version of the new Windows 10 releases but I expect this to be ironed out sometime this fall. As for regular patching, we plan to keep the status quo model as long as Microsoft continues to support it.

I'm curious if MIT will start to deliver Windows 10 milestone updates via WSUS. Will users on MIT WSUS get Redstone eventually? They could install the long-term service release if they weren't looking for the regular OS updates. Did they ever deliver Threshold 2 via WSUS? I started my Win10 deployments at Threshold 2, so I don't know myself.

Via SANS:

Starting next month, Microsoft will change how some of its patches for Windows are delivered. Starting October 11, updates for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will be cumulative, No more individual patches. Updates will be delivered as a monthly roll-up or a security-only update. Users running Windows Update will automatically default to the monthly roll-up option. Organizations running Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) can choose either option.


Which option will MIT WSUS be using ?
