    Posted Aug 17, 2016 03:48 AM

    Hi CA Content Team, can you please advise what your plans are for the changes that are coming in October 2016 with regards to the method in which MS releases updates for Windows 7 and other O/S : "From October 2016 onwards, Windows will release a single Monthly Rollup that addresses both security issues and reliability issues in a single update." full details in the link below

    Further simplifying servicing models for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 – Windows for IT Pros

     

    This will obviously impact the new intelli-rollups as well as the Delta and Full for the Operating Systems mentioned in the article.

     

    Kind regards

     

    Ian

    Hi Sudheer

     

    Will the "Monthly Rollup" patches also be available for download at the CA repository?

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    Not yet. As of now, the plan is to support only "Security Only Updates". A communication will be sent if a decision is taken to support "MS Monthly Rollups".
