Desktop Search 3.01 automatically deployed in WSUS???????

October 25, 2007

What is going on? What give MS the right to deploy a new version of the

Desktop Search software on our computers without giving us the option to

approve it? The Upgrade somehow got automatically approved for deployment in

our WSUS server. This isn't a minor change to an existing patch, this is a

major version upgrade! So far most of the PC's have installed it fine but

some installations have failed silently but a few have cause profile

corruption.

Microsoft, what gives? What gives you the right to update our computers

without our permission? What made you think that adding the ability to

override our setting in WSUS was a good idea?

Please initiate a free Windows Update support incident request:

As a sysadmin I do not want Malicious Software Removal Tool (useless for all

well maintained computers and a waste CPU cycles), Desktop Search (it wants

to search MS preferred sites and not the Desktop), IE7 (a whole new learning

experince and the underlying bugs from IE6 have still not been fixed),

Hardware Updates (as most cause more trouble than fix existing troubles i.e

HP1320, AC97 etc), Defender ( a noddy product if ever there was one). And,

I do not like the constant nagging when MS Updates are switched off. I know

what I am doing or I would not have switched them off. If you must remind me

then do it say once a month. Certainly not every time I have to restart a

computer.

If you want to fix something then fix the very broken WGA. Valid licences

are reported a invalid. Once the WGA screen has set itself to appear pre

logon there is no getting rid of it after a valid and over priced Licence has

been purchased.
