IE10 - Not time for Enterprise auto-update yet


There is no greater hint about the release of a new version of Internet Explorer (IE) than the release of an auto-update blocking tool from Microsoft. Microsoft released the IE10 auto-update blocking tool on Jan 30, 2013 and sure enough we are now seeing the release of IE10 (released from preview status) and soon to be auto-updated on a Windows 7 desktop very near you.

That said, a large number of corporate clients will not want/need to auto-update their version of IE. And, that is why Microsoft has been so kind to release a special tool (that needs to be run on each desktop) that will disable the auto-update to Internet Explorer 10.

Microsoft provides the following notes about the blocking tool:
  • For computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the Blocker Toolkit prevents the machine from receiving Internet Explorer 10 via Automatic Updates on the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites.
  • The Blocker Toolkit will not prevent users from manually installing Internet Explorer 10 from the Microsoft Download Center, or from external media.
  • Organizations do not need to deploy the Blocker Toolkit in environments managed with an update management solution such as Windows Server Update Services or Systems Management Server 2003. Organizations can use those products to fully manage deployment of updates released through Windows Update and Microsoft Update, including Internet Explorer 10, within their environment.
  • Even if you used the Blocker Toolkit to block Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 9 from being installed as a high-priority or important update, you will still need to use the Internet Explorer 10 version of the Blocker Toolkit to block Internet Explorer 10 from being installed. There are different registry keys used to block or unblock automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10.

In case you were wondering, about the current utilisation of IE across the five versions now available. 

You have to these numbers with a slight pinch of salt, as enterprise data will not be recorded and therefore will not be appropriately represented here.


You can download the IE10 blocker toolkit here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36512
Just a quick note on this Microsoft download. I am a little surprised that the file is an EXE format, rather than the standard MSI (Microsoft Installer) format. The first is that EXE's are hard to download in a corporate environment. Second, EXE's are hard to decompile and edit setting compared to the open table structure of an MSI Installer file. Not, that I have been known to favour a particular installation format before…   :)

Quest\DELL February Webinar and Online Demo Update


Loads of webinars and online demos to talk about today. We are nearly out of Feb and soon will be entering into March Madness - my favorite time of the year.

Here is a quick list of the webinars and online briefings that are scheduled for the next few weeks.

Upcoming Quest\DELL webcasts for February 2013
  
  
  
Join, Craig Mathias of the Farpoint Group as he discusses how the technological landscape is changing for students and institutions. He’ll also talk about the associated benefits for desktop virtualization in education, and how leveraging desktop virtualization makes sense for supporting not only “bring your own device” (BYOD) challenges,
  
Join experts from Concentrated Technology and Dell to learn how you can overcome healthcare’s “image problem.”

Don’t Forget… LIVE vWorkspace and RemoteScan Demos!
Just a reminder we continue to host LIVE vWorkspace (weekly) and RemoteScan (bi-weekly) demos.  Please feel free to send your prospects to these sessions where they can see firsthand some of the great functionality vWorkspace and RemoteScan bring to the table. 
vWorkspace demos are held every Wednesday at 11am Pac.  RemoteScan demos are held every other Thursday at 11am Pac. Hope to see your prospects there!

Check out the new Quest\DELL Whitepaper: Balancing Desktop Standardization with User Needs: 
Adopting a “corporate standard desktop” has undeniable benefits: it lowers overhead, reduces maintenance, and increases both stability and security.

But the two main client computer types that we’ve become accustomed to – laptops and desktops – aren’t the only game in town anymore. Now we’ve got a variety of virtual desktops, as well as published ones. Moreover, users today aren’t tied to a single client; they’re working from home, from the office, from hotels, and from airplanes.

That means that deploying a “corporate standard desktop” across the organization doesn’t work anymore. Users need different configuration settings depending on a variety of factors, from their current desktop to their current location to the time of day. This white paper explores how IT can balance the usefulness of desktop standardization with the real needs of today’s users.

Microsoft Patch Tuesday - February 2013


Application Compatibility Update with Quest® Workspace™ ChangeBASE

Executive Summary

With this considerable February Microsoft Patch Tuesday update, we see a set of 12 updates; 5 of which are marked as “Critical” and 7 rated as “Important”.

The Patch Tuesday Security Update analysis was performed by the Quest ChangeBASE Patch Impact team and identified a small percentage of applications from the thousands of applications included in testing for this release which showed amber issues.

Of the twelve patches, 7 "require a restart to load correctly",  5 "may require a restart", so, as usual, it is probably best to assume all require a restart to be installed correctly.

Sample Results
Here are some sample screen-shots taken from the Quest/DELL ChangeBASE application. These results demonstrate some of the issues highlighted by the Microsoft Patch Tuesday report.





ChangeBASE Sample Summary Report
Here is a sample of the ChangeBASE Summary report demonstrating an overview of the RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status of the patches and updates recently released by Microsoft for February 2013.

Testing Summary
And, most importantly, here is an overall summary of the results generated by testing over 1000 applications with the ChangeBASE software.
