SUS 2.0 Beta Testing ?

[Electronic Punk]

I just saw on bink.nu that SUS 2.0 is going into beta testing this month... Do any of you guys have a place in this beta? Have MS not yet started looking for testers?

I would really like to get in on this beta test 😉

I heard it was coming out, but have no plans to beta test it. The one I setup for work has an identical server in the test enviroment (just in case the updates get screwy). I might test it out here at the house if I get a chance.
I wonder what all changes are in 2.0? The only problem I have with the one right now is you can't push the updates, you have to wait for the client to connect.

Well 2.0, from what I have heard, will update office etc. as well.

I did find this, if your interested in emailing them.

"If you have questions regarding the SUS 2.0 Beta program please contact us at sus2beta@microsoft.com."

I'll keep my eyes open as a beta, I can't put it into production anyway :O 😉

 

[funky dredd]

I probably won't be putting it into production for some time. But if 2.0 is going to do Office pushes I most likely will try it out in the lab. Updating office is getting to be a pain!

Cool, I think we will also be implementing an SMS server soon, so we will have to see where that leads.

 

[funky dredd]

That should be interesting! Our sister hospital uses it to keep tabs on there servers! Never messed with it though.

So SUS has become WUS... lol, alas once again I am on a business trip so will check it all out again once I am home!!!

 

[funky dredd]

I like the name change. Never really liked saying SUS, it almost sounds dirty!

 

[Electronic Punk]

wus just sounds girly.

 

[funky dredd]

well ya, now that I think about it. It needs another s though! 😛
