Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 Hotfix KB2783466
Microsoft has released a new hotfix which you will most likely want to install if you are using Software Update Management with Configuration Manager 2007.
After a Software Update Point (SUP) synchronization with Windows Software Update Services (WSUS) is complete, software updates that were previously successfully deployed are displayed unexpectedly as invalid in the Administrator Console in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Specifically, the invalid updates icon (a red arrow) appears alongside the updates when you view the updates in the Deployment Management node of the Administrator Console. Additionally, these updates are no longer listed under the Deployment Packages node.
This issue may occur because of changes that were made to the Microsoft Update service in October 2012. These improvements contain metadata updates that affect all WSUS servers. These changes caused some updates to be marked as having a content change, even though the update binaries were not changed. For some administrators, the metadata changes may have been applied automatically when WSUS synchronized with the Microsoft Update servers in October. Other administrators received the changes by applying update 2734608 to their WSUS servers.
Full details can be found here.
Until next time!

2012
Finally found some time to write up my first post for 2012, so -with some delay- I would like to start by wishing all of you a Happy New Year! I hope 2012 will bring you a lot of professional and personal challenges and successes! For a System Center enthousiast like myself I am convinced this year will have a lot to offer.
One habit at the beginning of a new year is to come up with good intentions. These are the professional ones which I wrote down for myself, in random order:
Deliver System Center Projects
At the risk of stating the obvious: also this year I want to help customers by designing, implementing and optimizing System Center based solutions. System Center is what I do … (at least) eight hours per day … five days per week and occassionally over the weekend.
Attend MMS
Probably one of the things I am mostly looking forward to this year is attending the Microsoft Management Summit. After attending TechEd Europe for the past 10+ years, this is the first time I will be attending MMS. I heard a lot of great stories about the event itself and, with the new wave of System Center products about to be released, I believe this year will be even better. If you are also attending and would like to meet up in Vegas, please make sure to leave a message.
CMCep Participation
I have been participating in the CMCep program since it kicked off. Not only has it been a very interesting experience in learning ConfigMgr 2012 from its first existence onwards, also the social aspect of it has been really great. The wrap-up of the program is planned for February, so the goal is to participate in the remaining sessions and complete the entire track.
Community Contributions
The System Center community is very much alive and a fun environment to spend time in! My goal is to further actively participate and contribute to this community. Time will tell how this works out exactly in 2012 … But some ideas are already in the pipeline.
Blog
Not always the easiest of the goals to meet, but I do intend to put some extra effort into my blog. I will be posting more about day-to-day questions and problems I run into at customer sites and how to tackle them. Probably I will not always opt for the best or most efficient solution – so I am open for feedback and comments on whatever I may post.
See you around in 2012!
