- Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) SYNC controller lives in
- It was due to disapproval on April 18, but that has postponed
- Microsoft says that he listened to customers who were not happy with change
Microsoft has revealed that it will continue to admit the synchronization of the controller update with the Windows Server (WSUS) update services.
The news occurs only weeks after Microsoft gave users a 60 -day warning that the support would end, citing a end date of April 18.
In a blog post, the senior manager of the Azure Compliance Program, Paul Reed, confirmed that the company had heard “valuable comments”, guiding its decision to postpone deprecation, however, the publication lacks a definitive guide on what follows.
Microsoft continuous wsus support for controller synchronization
Reed pointed out the deprecation definition, noting that while a product may not be in active development, it can still be used.
“Seeing how many of you are already moved to the cloud -based controllers services, initially we proposed the elimination of WSUS controller synchronization,” he added, before confirming that customer comments made it clear that there is still the need for synchronization of the WSUS controller.
“From immediately, we are postponing the plan to eliminate the synchronization of the WSUS controller,” he confirmed.
The announcement occurs only two weeks before the initially proposed completion date, offering little time for companies to change plans, but relief for organizations that are not ready to make the transition.
Microsoft now promises to work in a “revised timeline”, so it is not clear if the sylon synchronization of the WSUS driver will lose the support at a later date or if the company will keep the continuous demand of it operation.
In that sense, WSUS is still critical in certain highly restricted networks where companies can have legal or contractual obligations, so continuous support can only be something good for them.
“Continue helping us to create solutions that meet your needs and expectations,” Reed said, noting that Microsoft appreciates customers’ comments on the matter.
