Microsoft Security Advisory 954960 Released

Microsoft released Microsoft Security Advisory 954960, "Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Blocked from Deploying Security Updates."

Although a security advisory, it is a non-security issue that prevents the distribution of updates deployed via WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) to systems that have Microsoft Office 2003 installed in their environment. Microsoft is aware of reports from customers who are experiencing this issue.

According to the advisory, upon completing the investigation, Microsoft will take appropriate action to resolve the issue within Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 or Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 Service Pack 1.

Note:

• The issue affecting System Center Configuration Manager 2007 first described in Microsoft Security Advisory 954474, where System Center Configuration Manager 2007 systems were blocked from deploying security updates, is separate from the issue described in this advisory.
