Security for a day

Ment to post this when the patch surfaced on 23rd July 2008.

It takes the engine to Client Version:  1.5.1955.0 from Client Version:  1.5.1941.0 if you check the about details

KB952265

Basically fixes a couple of things Forefront can break if you it’s running on a web server, SharePoint, WebDav, IIS7 or a 2008 server with Hyper-v. So not massively essential to get out there, for most of us.

It requires a reboot if you apply the patch by running the .exe Not so much fun for those in us in Ops role without of hours only reboot windows.

However, if you extract the files from the .exe you’ll find the new mp_ambits.msi.

This doesn’t require a reboot to install. Hurra!

You should also replace  the old ones in you Forefont deployment points/shares. There’s one for x86 and x64. Don’t get them mixed up.

Oh, and for those using Forefront and Windows 2008 core read this for trying to install the update kb955884
