Recommended WMI Hotfixes

Just a reminder post for myself more than anything...

TechNet Wiki page containing a list of Pre and Post SP1 Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 recommended WMI Hotfixes.

Recommended WMI Hotfixes

Microsoft today released an updated KB Article detailing the recommended WMI hotfixes that should be deployed to your Windows clients.

This is especially relevant in environments using System Center components as these make heavy usage of WMI.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2591403

It doesn't mention it within the KB Article, but I think it's safe to say these hotfixes are assuming that you're also running the latest service pack for the relevant OS but even if that isn't the case, I would certainly recommend it.

N.B. Thanks to Marnix Wolf for the tweet that highlighted the updated KB to me!

System Center Hotfixes, Updates and Articles

Kevin Holman has maintained for a while now the most useful list of hotfixes (imho) required/available for Operations Manager.

That got me thinking, are there any other useful collections of updates, service packs, knowledge base articles etc available for the other System Center products?

Couple of hours later.......
