SQL Server 2005 SP2 - Recommended Build - Update

  • Artigo

I've posted a blog entry some time ago about Microsoft recommendation for SQL Server SP2 builds: SQL Server 2005 SP2 - Recommended Build?

 

Last week Microsoft has released a new SecurityBullettin (MS08-040 - Vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server Could Allow Elevation of Privilege) which while we're waiting for the release of SP3, changes Microsoft position about recommended builds as follows:

 

  • SQL Server 2000 SP4 minimum recommended build is now 2273 (which includes 2187 whch was the old recommended one)
  • SQL Server SP2 minimum recommended build in now 3068 (which includes 3054 which was the old recommended one)

 

Just a couple of notes concerning SQL  Server 2005 as things can become a little bit confusing .

 

Minimum recommended build is 3068, but for example you cannot apply it if your build is between 9.00.3150 and 9.00.3230.  In that case you'll have to use KB948108 which will take you to 3233.

Also, if you have decided to keep your instances up to date with the SQL Server 2005 Cumulative Updates, you don't have to apply anything in case you are already on CU7 - build 3239 or CU8 - build 3257 (or above, in the future :-)).
