Internet Explorer 8 Release to Automatic Updates

We are expecting Microsoft to release IE 8 to Automatic Updates, as High Priority, within the next week. Whilst the update will not automatically install, it will offer you the choice to "Ask Me Later", "Install" or "Don't Install", as you would get when installing IE 7 via Automatic Updates.

If you wish to block IE 8 from installing on your network, the blocker toolkit is available from this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=21687628-5806-4ba6-9e4e-8e224ec6dd8c&displaylang=en

Microsoft have said that IE 8 will appear in WSUS around July 2009.
