I just checked with both a physical and VM Win7 boxes, and neither 4088875 or 4088878 was offered, FWIW.

I agree completely, and I plan on removing it from our machines, but what I’ve found on them so far seems to back up the Casey and Piltch. (I forgot to log in when I posted above)

As I see it, mr. Pence will fall too, so the future looks bright, but who’s next in line to take over then? Mr. Ryan?

Yes. If things really fall apart I’d be rooting for Mattis. But then he’s probably too ethical to be President.

Before I do anything on a large scale I decided to test this on a Win7 box with Office 2010 SP2. I verified that it has KB3203467 installed, but when I check for windows updates it’s not offering me KB2956078.  Am I missing something obvious?

In addition to older hardware continuing to still be usable, it’s that a lot of people are using desktops and laptops less and less.  Like a lot of IT people, my home is unusually high in computers.  Three desktops, two HTPCs, a laptop my wife and I share, one for each daughter in college.  But in all honesty, unless I’m working I spend a lot more time on my phone or my iPad than any of my “real” computers.

I can confirm no problem with those updates. I believe that problem is there only for some SSL enabled wsus servers ( more details in topick on MS forum)

I know it definitely affected both of the Server 2012 R2 WSUS servers in my SCCM environment.  I verified I was getting the errors in windowsupdate.log on multiple machines, removed the relevant KB and everything went back to normal. *sigh*

So if they’re canning standalone EMET, but you disable Defender (or use a 3rd party AV), I guess you’re SOL. Smart idea. /s

The end of EMET has been coming for a while now. EOL for it has been extended to July of 2018, but if I were using it I’d use that time to find another solution.
