I'm Rob Marshall, a consultant who specialises in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager product. I like to share, i do so by blogging and helping out when I can in the MS SMS newsgroups and participating in the ConfigMgr MVP program.
I was awarded and joined the program in 2009. It'd be an understatement to say it has to be one of the best experiences an IT engineer can have, if they really enjoy specialising in a product.
My biggest weapon for troubleshooting is, my formidable knowledge, no, only joking, you, the community. I find if I cannot answer a question, then I can usually find the answer from using Bing\Google, pouring over the documentation, and if that doesn't work, tinkering in mine or someone elses virtual lab.
The blogs pretty much about ConfigMgr, but it is also a platform for me to express my random urges to display something I've stumbled across, and that I imagine would entertain you or what not as equally as it did me.
From the BBC News website:
"Microsoft did a good job of updating people's home computers, but the virus continues to infect business who have ignored the patch update."
Am struggling to understand why businesses are holding out? Oh my, why?! Worm\Virus = down time = loss of profit ... sigh.
If you haven't patched yet, then you should find this URL (MS08-067 bulletin) very handy. Visit it, prepare for the patch, roll it out ASAP and at the same time make sure your Anti-V DATs are up to date you numtees!
If it's your patching mechanism that let you down, or you found it too hard to manage the deployment, then now is a good time to look at Configuration Manager 2007 to help you patch your systems in a controlled manner. You'll be more effective at deploying these patches and practically no down time due to nuisance worms!
