To help our customers become more secure and up-to-date, Microsoft
will distribute Windows Internet Explorer 8 as a high-priority update
through Automatic Updates for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and
higher, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 SP2
for x64 and x86, Windows Vista for x64 and x86, Windows Vista SP1 for
x64 and x86, and Windows Server 2008 for x64 and x86. This Blocker
Toolkit is intended for organizations that would like to block
automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 8 to machines in environments
where Automatic Updates is enabled. The Blocker Toolkit will not
expire.Note:
For computers running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, the Blocker
Toolkit prevents the machine from receiving Internet Explorer 8 as a
high-priority update via Automatic Updates and the Express install
option on the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites; Internet
Explorer 8 will be listed as an optional update with the Custom
install option.
For computers running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, the
Blocker Toolkit prevents the machine from receiving Internet Explorer
8 as an important update via Automatic Updates on the Windows Update
and Microsoft Update sites; Internet Explorer 8 will be listed as an
optional update.
The Blocker Toolkit will not prevent users from manually installing
Internet Explorer 8 as a Recommended update from the Windows Update or
Microsoft Update sites, from the Microsoft Download Center, or from
external media.
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 8, within their environment.
If you used the Blocker Toolkit to block Internet Explorer 7 from
being installed as a high-priority update, you need to use the
Internet Explorer 8 version of the Blocker Toolkit to block Internet
Explorer 8 from being installed. There are different registry keys
used to block or unblock automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 7 and
Internet Explorer 8.
