    So what you’re saying is it’s time to stop patching your SBS system because most likely it will break. 🙂

    Man I know MS doesn’t want to do SBS stuff anymore but they don’t have to keep trying to break the older versions.

    Its highly disappointing that Microsoft can’t program WSUS to not offer updates on machines where the patch is going to break critical functionality.

    If user has Exchange don’t offer WMF 3.0 patch, if user is running SBS don’t offer WMF 3.0 patch. Not that hard I would have thought.
