Microsoft is expected to formally debut and demonstrate the beta version of Software Update Services 2.0 at the Microsoft Management Summit 2004 next week, sources said. The beta is expected to be announced at the company's annual management software show in Las Vegas next week but the actual release of the code into the hands of select testers may slip until April, sources said.
The long awaited patch management server code for Windows Server 2003, expected to ship in mid-2004, has been significantly enhanced and will include support for the first time for Office, SQL Server and Exchange patches, as well as new hooks for ISVs, sources said.
