SUS version 2 beta…..

I received an invitation to join this beta today. Among the advertised highlights are –
Support for Windows, Office, SQL, and Exchange patches
Reporting capabilities – deployment status about download, install and impacted machines.
Ability to uninstall patches that support uninstall
More Administrative controls – patch install, uninstall, install by a deadline, and configurable client polling intervals.
Targeting of different updates to administrator defined groups of machines.

They should really have been in version 1!

    I’m trying to invite myself, so-to-speak, for SUS 2 Beta. Any ideas on how or where (url) I can sign up for it?

    Regards

    I couldn’t access the survey using the “MSUS10Survey” Guest ID. I was able to fill out the survey/beta nomination form using the instructions below.

    Go to http://www.beta.microsoft.com and sign in using the guest account ‘BetaReq’.(case sensitive) You will need to use your Passport.com or Hotmail.com Passport account. If you do not have a .NET Passport, please go to http://www.passport.com to create one. Fill out the form and specify the SUS 2.0 beta program. Your request will be forwarded to the appropriate Product Group for review and consideration.
