• Patch Lady – documentation for admins

    Posted on March 24, 2018 at 16:16 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    This post is for all those admins out there in the trenches that have to deal with Windows 7, 8.1, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012 R2 and so on.  The other day it was pointed out to me that all of the documentation for the legacy products have been moved to a new location here:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/

    The concerning part of the news was/is that this documentation has been (as I understand it) flagged to not be searchable by Google or Bing.  Given that Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 still have a year and a smidge of extended support as deemed by the Microsoft product support lifecycle, documentation, in my opinion, should be publicly searchable via the tools that us Admins use to find stuff.

    Then on top of that…. we still have folks looking for migration guidance in and out of small business products and just in my review of some of the links for Essentials servers, they are broken with 404’s all over the place.

    So,  if you are an admin like me and think that all documentation should be searchable, sign up on GitHub and vote up my feedback!
