• Patch Lady – Server 2008 R2’s ready to patch?

    Posted on February 6, 2020 at 14:32 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    My apologies, in the zeal of the coverage over Windows 7 I forgot to circle back and report on issues with Windows Server patching in January.

    There were two trending issues/root causes.

    First make sure you’ve installed the SHA2/SSU patches.  KB474419 (September 10th 2019) should be installed before you attempt the January updates.  Server 2008 R2 were booting up to a restore screen.

    Next for Server 2012 R2 there appeared to be some interaction with Webroot and/or Storagecraft.  Ensure you are up to date on both.

    And finally a reminder for both Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 – for those that purchase extended support updates – we will no longer have the testing done by the masses and instead will have a much smaller set of folks installing updates on these platforms.  MAKE SURE you have a functional backup and have test restored it before installing the February updates.
