It's Microsoft Patch Tuesday: January 2013

Are the Microsoft patches giving you trouble this month? Maybe your peers can help - describe the problems you are having.

You have KB2786081 that is for IE10 - yet, IE10 hasn't been release [in beta?].
You are forced [well you can hide/ignore them] to install KB2786400 and KB2726535 - even if you don't need them.

Internet Explorer in Windows 8 is version 10. Perhaps the patch applies to 10, 9 and 8, but just not expressed that way?

Can't confirm just yet but I strongly believe that one of these updates has prevented our ticketing system software BMC (aka Numara) Track-It from running.

Track-It was working fine yesterday prior to the update, but after the update, it no longer seems to be functioning.

It's not conclusive yet as I not sure if any other processes ran overnight to cause this issue but I strongly suspect that it's one of the updates, as the .Net Framework is one Track-IT's system requirements.

Which Dot Net 2.0? 3.0? 3.51? 4.0? 4.5? They were all updated [again....]. I wish they'd release a roll-up or service pack to cover the numerous updates. 3.512 [for example] is a bloody mess.

Hi Gisabun, the update was for .Net 4.

With the help of Track-It support we found out that the account used by the service no longer had access to the required directories via the UNC path.

I'm still uncertain as to which update, if any, might have caused this issue but we have used the local path instead and now the required Track-It service is running.

Wish I had a more conclusive answer but for now, there you have it.

Im wandering around in my new windows 8 PC and I cant get out. I can see a big bright ray of light going up into the reaches but I cant get to it.
