Communicator Updates Coming in WSUS Soon

Aaron Tiensivu pointed out that the OCS Update group has been renamed in WSUS in anticipation of R2. The nice thing this time around is that Communicator client updates are going to finally be included. The current update approach is brutal: applying .msp patches which are only available as hotfixes. It made tracking and finding updates for Communicator much more difficult than it should have ever been, but this change should hopefully make that process a bit easier.

Hi there. My name is Tom Pacyk and this is my small home on the web. I love the intersection of design, technology, and communication, which is a combination that led me to a career in sales and marketing roles at places like Zoom and ServiceNow. They're a bit old now, but I also had the opportunity to publish a couple of books along the way.

Portland, Oregon is home for me, my wife Beth, and our three kids, but I'm actually a Midwestern transplant—I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and went to school at Purdue and Illinois. When I find some free time I'm probably going to concerts, rooting for the Portland Timbers, or working on my Sunshine Burn Photography project.
