Microsoft clears remaining bugs after record Patch Tuesday

Microsoft has been working hard to clean up a number of bugs after the largest Patch Tuesday release ever earlier this month. Software affected by buggy patches includes Live Communications Server 2005 and Office Communications Server 2007, as well as scenarios involving the usage of Windows Server Update Services or running Microsoft Office Access Runtime 2003.

Microsoft is normally extremely careful in testing Windows Update patches before they are pushed out. I suppose the problems show that even Microsoft can be daunted when faced with a record number of software patches.

Susan Bradley, who is the chief technology officer of an accountancy firm, summed up the situation, "This is the patch month that will not die." Fortunately, all the discovered issues have been resolved, though customers affected by one of the issue will need to re-run their update tools to ensure they are patched.
