We plan on using the Microsoft service pack "blocker tool" for our Vista and XP clients. We'll be forcing them to add the registry key that blocks installation of the service pack. We're going to add a check for the registry key that the blocker tool sets. We had a lot of horror stories when XP SP2 came out, and we don't want a repeat of that. Our thoughts are to finish the rest of this semester and then start enforcing Vista SP1 and XP SP3 starting with our summer sessions.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb927794.aspx We are using the WSUS checks against the Microsoft WSUS servers (we don't have a local WSUS server running and use Microsoft's instead). Does anyone know with certainty that the above blocker tool (and the registry entries it sets) will also prevent WSUS from returning that Vista SP1 or XP SP3 needs to be installed? --greg On Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:49:47 -0400, Osborne, Bruce W.
