- Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Driver Sync VIE
- He was to be depreciation on April 18, but it was postponed
- Microsoft says he listened to customers who were not satisfied with the change
Microsoft has revealed that it will continue to support the pilot update to update with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers.
The news comes only a few weeks after Microsoft warned 60 -day users that it would be the final of the assistance, citing a date at the end of April 18.
In a blog article, Paul Reed, principal director of the Azure compliance program, confirmed that the company had listened to “precious comments”, guiding its decision to postpone the depreciation, but the message has no final advice on the next one.
Microsoft Continuing Wsus Management of the driver synchronization
Reed noted the definition of depreciation, noting that even if a product may no longer be in active development, it can always be used.
“Seeing how many of you are already traveling to the available cloud-based pilot services, we initially proposed the abolition of the synchronization of the WSUS driver,” he added, before confirming that customer comments have clearly indicated that there was still a need for synchronization of the WSUS driver.
“Do it immediately, we postpone the plan to remove the synchronization of the driver WSUS,” he confirmed.
The announcement comes just two weeks before the proposed initial end date, offering companies for a short time to change the plans, but relief for organizations that are not entirely ready to carry out the transition.
Microsoft now promises to work on a “revised calendar”, it is therefore not clear if the synchronization of the driver WSUS will lose his support for a later date or if the company will maintain it in recognition of continuous demand for it.
On this note, WSUS remains critical in certain highly restricted networks where companies can have legal or contractual obligations, so continuous support can only be good for them.
“Please continue to help us create solutions that meet your needs and expectations,” said Reed, noting that Microsoft appreciates customer comments on the issue.
