Yes, I'm swearing in Long-Hand today. First thing when I walk through the door I religiously read the latest ISC posts. this one caught my attention MS11-020 (KB2508429) Upgrading from Critical to PATCH NOW.
Things like this really make my day. When you read further it states that the exploit being patched can be executed without authentication! I really don't like the idea of having "my computers" be vulnerable to something like this.
Now don't get me wrong, I have already pushed the patch out to all of my computers via WSUS, what this means though is I am setting an installation deadline to ensure that it is installed as soon as possible. I also now need to go in, and check to make sure that all computers have the patch installed. when I have 500ish computers, and not all of them are physically located on campus all the time (Laptops, Road Warriors, etc.) This can be somewhat difficult.
I don't like forcing deadlines on patch installs, doubly so when the install is going to require a reboot, but there are times when it needs to be done. This is one of them.
