This cycle we further improved stability by rebuilding the primary desktop gateway (it connects all of the thin clients to their virtual desktops), rolled back a couple of patches that Microsoft introduced bugs with that interfered with our workflows, then applied the fixed versions of those patches. October is going to be a big patch month, the new cumulative updates are coming from both Microsoft (our primary OS vendor), Ubiquiti (our Network equipment vendor), and VMWare (our Virtualization platform vendor). No word yet on Dell updates, but there's an expected set of patches from them to remedy a hardware-level vulnerability in the coming weeks.
