  • Article

A new product family called Microsoft HealthVault is being added. Microsoft HealthVault enables consumers to store health and fitness information for themselves and their family in a single place in the cloud, and manage their wellness in new ways with an emerging breed of applications and websites. A new product category called HealthVault Connection Center is also being added under the Microsoft HealthVault product family. The HealthVault Connection Center product category contains updates/upgrades for the HealthVault Connection Center desktop application, which provides Windows and device integration for Microsoft HealthVault. Optional upgrades can be released through this category quarterly. Security and critical updates can be released as needed. For additional information, see https://www.healthvault.com.

A new product family called System Center Virtual Machine Manager will be added to your WSUS server in the few days. The System Center product category will include updates for the Microsoft® System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007, including service packs, optional updates, and critical or security updates. Virtual Machine Manager updates are going to be offered through Microsoft Update and WSUS.

Updates offered through this category will apply only to computers running System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 software.

A new product family called Office Communications Server has been added to your WSUS server. This category contains updates to components offered for various components of Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 . Office Communications Server 2007 manages all real-time (synchronous) communications including: instant messaging, VoIP, audio and video conferencing. Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 also powers presence, a key benefit of Microsoft unified communications that unites all the contact and identity information stored in Active Directory with the ways people communicate. Security updates can be released through this category periodically.

Due to the variety of applications/components that can reside under this product family, subscribing to this product family is recommended. We will send out additional information if anything changes.

Finally, a new product category is being added to your WSUS server under the Office Communications Server product family. The Office Communications Server 2007 product category will include updates for the Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 , including service packs, optional updates, and critical or security updates. We expect most of Office Communications Server 2007 updates will be offered through WSUS. Updates offered through this category will apply only to computers running Office Communications Server 2007.

    Nate, any chance that we will get Office Communicator 2005 added as a product category?  I would hate to think that those of us who implemented Office Communicator 2005 would be totally left out in the dark.
