HOTFIXES: Windows XP SP2 & Windows 2000 SP4


Recommended Posts


It is rather curious that they haven't released the January 2006 Outlook 2003 Junk Mail filter --- yet. Microsoft has released an update once a month.

I'm just wondering.. how do you guys find out about these hotfixes (other than the security ones on TechNet)?

1. Know that the second tuesday of every month is Microsoft Patch Day, and some time during that day you could go to the Microsoft Update site to see what's new for your system.

2. You could visit http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx to see what updates came out when and look at the most recent security bulletins.

3. You could visit http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...tin/notify.mspx and register for notification when bulletins are released.

4. You could keep watching this forum. While the first page does not get updated immediately (and that is only because Incroyable Hulk likes to do some real testing before just putting the information out there), quite often the end of the thread will have been updated by several people as soon as any new releases are posted.

Here are the results:

Windows XP SP2:

***NEW***

KB908519

KB912919

KB890830 (Removal Tool)

It looks like KB886185 & KB873339 are no longer necessary.

I'll update the first page soon...

Hulk,

Could you double check these? My test machine is still asking for 886185 and 873339.

1. I know that

2. I already go there for security bulletins. I'm wondering about other updates, though.

3. I already receive these notifications :P

4. I understand, but I was wondering how the people in this thread know that a new patch has come out (that fixes a bug or something; I know security bulletins are posted on technet, but what about other patches).

why is it so big?

It contains nearly 200 copies of the hotfix -- 1 for every language x 3 for each OS flavor. The bulletin says one type of user who would use the ISO is someone in charge of a multinational network. I would think each region should have at least one administrator in charge of critical updates, but I guess there are some responsible for multiple regions.
