System Center 2012 SP1 additional components are updated

———————More downloads were added——————————-

After the release of System Center 2012 SP1 on Technet and MSDN before Christmas which is kind of unofficial release it is time for the official one. There is a rumor that tomorrow (04.01.2013) Microsoft will officially announce Service Pack 1 for System Center 2012. As a hint for this official announcement is that several additional components for SC 2012 SP1 were updated from Beta to RTM today. Here you can find them:

Note: Some of the components may still have BETA word in their names but if you see the change log on the webpage you will see that final version was uploaded.
