Handling of "Monthly Rollup" Patches starting October
Posted: 15.09.2016, 16:39
Hi guys,
sorry if this is already being discussed somewhere, my search didn't bring up anything useful.
Starting next month, Microsoft will not release individual patches anymore but instead will ship "monthly rollups", patch archives which will include all patches released for a platform. This will be for Windows 7, 8.1, Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2.

I don't want to go into the disadvantages of not being able to cherry-pick patches, but I want to make sure that WSUS Offline Update is able to fetch and install these like it did with the individual patches up to now.
Maybe this new approach makes WSUSOA deprecated, if we easily can download the rollups manually and install them from USB stick or similar.
This thread should be about discussion the possibilities how to update Windows hosts that up to now have been updated with WSUSOA and what is needed to keep them up to date in the future. Please share your knowledge about that if any existing. Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Daniel
