RE: IMF: keep getting old update

Hi,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on my research, the update mechanism will maintain the last three
versions of the IMF data and binary files on the Exchange 2003 that the
updates are being applied to. Once installed, the IMF update package will
appear in Add/Remove Programs under the following name: "Update for
Intelligent Message Filter on Exchange Server 2003: 2005.12.09 (KB907747)".
You should see an entry in the 'Add or Remove Programs' (ARP) Control
Panel

If you look closely at the name, you will see that '2005.12.09' corresponds
to the date when the package was released. Over the course of the regular
update cycle, this date will change while the name/number of the KB itself
'(KB907747)' will remain intact. For example, for the package released on
January 18th 2006, the full name will be: "Update for Intelligent Message
Filter on Exchange Server 2003: 2006.1.18 (KB907747)".

Additional information/requirements about the IMF updates:

1. IMF updates are twice per month

2. IMF updates are only supported on Exchange 2003 Servers with SP2 where
IMF is enabled?

3. IMF updates are supported on all Exchange server languages

4. IMF updates are available from Microsoft Update via both manual and AU

5. IMF updates support uninstall through Add/Remove Programs and manual
rollback


And in add/ remove programs console, it's only show one IMF update. In your
case, it shows as 2006.03.09. You need check the following location to
verify previous updates, please navigate to this location C:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\bin\MSCFV2, you can see the hot fix that you applied like
"6.5.7838.0" folder, you can monitor this folder when MS releases next
update of IMF.

free to let me know.

Have a nice day!
