Patch Data Beta today to provide customers with ability to validate changes that will be released to production in November:

  • Patch Data CABs will be digitally signed to ensure their integrity

Patch Data Beta files are already available on solutionsam in http://www.solutionsam.com/imports/Beta/patch/windows/ location and will be updated after each Patch Data release to match production build version and contents.

You can participate in Beta by switching to alternative location on “Import Patch Data for Windows” task page as shown on screenshot below:

 

FAQ:

  • We don’t plan to change Patch Data version because of these changes, it will remain 7.3
  • Current plan is to roll these changes into production on November, 1st to ensure that we have enough time before November Patch Tuesday
  • It’s possible to switch between production and Beta back and forth at any time
