ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Tuesday posted a blocker tool to help organizations prevent Automatic Updates from automatically downloading and installing Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 on their systems.
Windows Server 2003 SP1 was posted to the Web in March and will be automatically distributed through Automatic Updates at the end of July.
"For those enterprise customers that require additional time to prepare for the download and deployment of SP1, Microsoft will provide a 'Blocker' tool kit," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an e-mail to reporters. The tool will block the download of SP1 while allowing Automatic Updates to download all other security updates.
