Windows Server Update Services Release Candidate Now Available
We are pleased to announce that the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Release Candidate (RC) released today, Tuesday March 22! The Release Candidate of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), formerly Windows Update Services (WUS), includes new features such as:
• Replica mode for WSUS server hierarchies, making them easier to manage.
• SSL connections between WSUS servers and clients, providing an even more secure end-to-end environment.
• Automatic Update policy to allow non-administrators to receive update notifications, offering greater flexibility in organizations where logged on users are commonly not administrators.
As a participant in the WSUS Open Evaluation Program (OEP) you have the opportunity to test and provide feedback on the RC of the product, related documentation, and tools.
How do you obtain the WSUS RC, associated documentation, and tools?
• Go to WSUS OEP site, _http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/updateservices/evaluation/trial.mspx
• Register and download the release.
It is important to note the following regarding content support for your existing Beta 2 installation:
• The last update to the beta Microsoft Update service was made on March 8th. As a result, Windows Update Services Beta 2 will no longer recieve new updates. We encourage you to download the Release Candidate of Windows Server Update Services as soon as possible to continue receiving updates and testing the product.
• Existing content on the beta Microsoft Update service will be available for server synchronization until April 22, 2005. After that date, that service will be decomissioned and Windows Update Services Beta 2 installations will not be able to receive any content.
Thank you for your interest in Windows Server Update Services!
