lieblingsbesuch Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Hi,Just a short Question: Is it legal to share Windows XP SP2 Updates on a public server?thx in advance
cluberti Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Are they public, or private hotfixes? You can probably see where I'm going here...
lieblingsbesuch Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 Hi,thx for the answer.I don't know that there are private and public patches available. The Patches i mean are the *.exe's from autopatcherXP. I dunno if theyre like... private or public.Does "private" mean, that u have to validate ur windows before u can get 'em?
Bezalel Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Microsoft encourages users to share their SP2 Update CDs however they prohibit installing WSUS on a public server.There are two types of hotfixes. GDR (General Distibution Release) hotfixes are tested and supported by MS and available through the download center and various update software (WU, OU, AU, SUS, MU, WSUS, and SMS). QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) hotfixes are provided as-is to fix specific problems and should only be installed on computers that need them, these are only available by request through MS support.
