Possible Issues with June Microsoft Security Updates

Posted in News, vSphere on June 9th, 2010 by Kyle Hughes – 3 Comments

There have been reports that a couple of Microsoft security updates for the month of June are causing some issues with VMware vCenter, the main one is KB 980773 – this is an update to DotNet.  While I am in the process of rebuilding my test lab this will be something I will defiantly test out prior to updating our production vCenter server this month.  For a little more information of the subject, there is a small discussion going on the VMware forums regarding this issue, this should be a decent source of information until more is discovered later on.  http://communities.vmware.com/message/1549225
