My environment received a smattering of IE7 installs from some mysterious place last night. We run all of our machines against our
own internal WSUS server which has the IE7 install disabled and it has been so for over a year now. In my investigation of the
mysterious installs of IE7 last night I found that Microsoft updated their article about the "Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery
of Internet Explorer 7" yesterday. I did not have the blocker in place because in the documentation for the blocker it says that it
is not needed if you run your own internal WSUS server (Organizations do not need to deploy the Blocker Toolkit in environments
managed with an update management solution such as Windows Server Update Services or Systems Management Server 2003. Organizations
can use those products to fully manage deployment of updates released through Windows Update and Microsoft Update, including
Internet Explorer 7, within their environment.) I have now implemented the GPO which blocks the auto install of IE7 so I hope that
I do not receive any more installs going forward.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Internet Explorer 7 is being delivered through Automatic Updates
