  • 1.  Internet Explorer 8.0 or 9.0 - Patch Management Deployment?

    Posted Sep 12, 2011 06:17 PM

    I have spent the afternoon searching for Internet Explorer 8.0 & 9.0 inside of our NS 7.1SP1 console.  We are fully up to date with Altiris updates, and I have selected Internet Explorer 8 & 9 from "Import Patch Data for Windows" \ "Vendors and Software" \ Microsoft.  After searching through Microsoft patches, I am not seeing Internet Explorer 8.0 or Internet Explorer 9.0 available.  I am seeing various IE patches & rollups, but not the actuall browser updates.  WSUS reports these patches as KB944036 for IE8 and KB982861 for IE9.

     Can anyone confirm or deny if either of these are available in patch management?

     

    P.S.  I am fully aware IE9 is not compatible with the Altiris console.  I am not asking about compatibility, I am asking about the actual patch so I can push it out as needed.

    Thanks

    This isn't available in PM.  You'll want to download the redistributable and roll it out using a Managed Software Delivery policy.

    Thanks for the reply, and clarification.

    I knew it was to much to expect patch parity from WSUS to Altiris :)
