Well it looks like we received a nice little surprise today and Cumulative Update 1 has released for ConfigMgr 2012 SP1. If you are one of the early adopters of SP1 you should evaluate this CU especially if you are a Powershell GURU. If you are not on SP1 you should look at it right away as there are plenty of reasons why that would be a good move for you. As always don't forget to test in your lab before deploying this update and ensure you have a fresh backup!
