Microsoft rebuts rogue WSUS reports
Microsoft Corp. today denied that its enterprise update service was forcing all Windows XP systems to install a new edition of Windows Desktop Search, and instead said that the new software hitting desktops had been previously approved by administrators.
Reports from users who claimed that Windows Desktop Search (WDS) was installing without permission began hitting Internet message forums, including Microsoft-hosted support newsgroups, early today. "WDS 3.01 downloaded and 'approved itself' on WSUS, then start installing on clients," said a user identified as Rob S. "This occurred despite WSUS being set to only auto approve updates to patches. My company has not deployed any version of WDS (until today of course!) so the installation came as a complete surprise. Full versions, not updates have appeared on machines." http://www.computerworld.com/action/...ce=rss_topic17
