Issues
Problems discovered during the scoping of this project:
Microsoft is not supporting the Nobackup feature for WES 7 Security Updates.
•
This is a crucial and impacting change, as the addition of monthly Security
Updates expands the Image footprint from month to month.
The current catalog files must be downloaded from the Internet before an OFF-
•
line mode scan. It is strongly recommended that these files be downloaded on
a weekly basis to ensure that the current security database is being used for
scanning.
Installation history (explicitly installed/effectively installed) no longer reflects
•
those updates that have been superseded by another update. The behavior of
this feature follows the behavior for missing updates, where only the most
recent non-superseded update is shown.
Workaround: Refer to the bulletin, fixlist, or TechNet search page to identify
•
each previous bulletin that has been included in the update in question from the
Current Update Compliance listing.
