Treat these like Service Packs
Monday, 16 Feb, 2009 – 19:22 | No Comment

I posted this to someone today and thought I’d blog this here as well: Regarding the patches that came out last week, consider two of them to be Service Packs and plan accordingly:  There are two BIG hunking patches in this go round that one really needs to treat like service packs. 1.  Exchange.  This is a denial of service and there’s no mitigation.  Big whoop they will target Vlad first and his big Exchange servers first, I can make a backup and install carefully.  You are replacing store.exe so it’s like it’s a sp1 or sp2.  Treat accordingly.  2007 does not need a reboot but I have seen these Update rollups sometimes need to be reinstalled as the initial install may mess up.  2k3 does need a reboot and a mere stopping of services and restarting on a SBS 2k3 box isn’t enough. 2.  SQL and on a SBS box we have ‘em coming out of our ears.  It’s replacing SQL engine as well.  Also treat like a service pack.  Only nails you if you have an external web site exposed and they can get in through cross site scripting, so I don’t see that we should be patching quickly on this one, we have time.  Treat also like a service pack as if the permissions in that database are horked you are calling a PSS SQL expert as there’s no easy blog answer as someone has to dig out the log file and read it

Can’t Update Anything On My Vista
Monday, 16 Feb, 2009 – 12:52 | No Comment

Nothing on my Vista will update including my spyware, windows update, and Im pretty sure everything else. on my spyware it says that it failed to get any of the updates and on my windows update it says: “Error(s) found: Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.” I checked on Microsofts website and there was no such error listed.
