WSUS Question

[Tim]

Hi Guys,

I have the WSUS SP2 RC installed and running perfectly however as everyone
knows it will expire in August. Can I simply install its replacement over the
top of the existing program. Will it break? or do I have to reinstall.

Thanks

I have not seen anything printed, at this point, that states whether this
capability will be supported, or not.

However, it's not likely that the service pack will be released before the
expiration of the RC in August, so I would suggest you also consider
alternative options.

One of the primary features of the SP2 is support for Windows 7 -- but until
Windows 7 is released, it's subject to change. If the product on which
WSUS3SP2 is based is not yet released, and subject to change, that would
seem to directly impact the release schedule of WSUS3SP2 -- at least in my
mind.

On the other hand... stranger things have happened. Truth is.. I just don't
know (and they aren't telling me, either).
