New naming schema for Windows Services for UNIX software update packages (899157)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5
SUMMARYMicrosoft has adopted a standardized naming schema for all software update packages for Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX that are created and are distributed by Microsoft.
Note A software update is an executable (.exe) file that contains one or more files that you can apply to Windows Services for UNIX to correct a specific problem. Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) distributes software update packages to customers who are severely affected by a specific problem. Publicly available updates are software update packages that we recommend for all customers. You can obtain these updates from the Microsoft Download Center or from other Microsoft Web sites.
Microsoft has adopted the new naming schema for software update packages for the following reasons: - The new naming schema creates consistency across Microsoft software update packages.
- The new naming schema improves the ability to search for software update packages and Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.
- The new naming schema clearly notes the language of a software update package and the intended program, when the language is applicable.
This article contains additional information about the new standardized naming schema for software update packages.
