I am reading this article saying the blocker will expire in the coming months. We customize the registry on our company's PCs to point to our Windows Software Update Server to get update - not using GPO. Do you think we will be affected by what is mentioning in this article? http://www.infoworld.com/article/09/01/30/Microsoft_warns_that_Vista_XP_upgrade_blockers_will_expire_1.html?source=NLC-TB&cgd=2009-01-30As far as our servers, we use Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. They should not be affected, right?Ed Cheung

Hi Ed, it seems this is a general WSUS and Windows Server related issue. As this forum focuses on Windows Vista specific issues, this inquiry would best be posted to the following server forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threads/ The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the newsgroups regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.Sean Zhu - MSFT
