Microsoft finally has released the first CU update for ConfigMgr 2012. Awesome The update creates up to 4 new packages that’s need to be deployed after the update has been installed, but over all, I think that Microsoft has done a really great job to help ConfigMgr Admins around the world, to make use that they always have the latest and greatest updates installed. Well done! The CU1 update is available for download here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2717295 Enjoy.
