Windows 2003 After EOL Patches

Jegavelan Sargunan Jan 20, 2016 2:11 PM

Hello,

We have installed Windows 2003 patches which was given after EOL by MS, but those patches are not showing up in the Live Browser of the server in the hotfix section does any one why ? if its live browser it should show it.

Because Shavlik doesn’t know anything about them.

Shavlik knows about it, even without paying anything for shavlik for custom 2003 patches few of the patches still shows up in hotfix but not all of them

Yes, so what’s the problem ?

Shavlik doesn’t know anything about the post-EOL patches. so patching jobs and the live browse of hotfixes will not show them because both of those use Shavlik. The ‘applications’ node looks at the windows registry.

Shavilk will not show any of the post-EOL patches as Microsoft does not provide this metadata information to Shavlik. Can you show an example of what you are seeing ?

so you live-browsed a 2003 server and see this listed under 'hotfixes' ?

the info page: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-101 - Important doesn't list 2003.

Me too not sure, but they are doing backward compatibility for all the patches so that old patches don't show as missing patch again after we install the new EOL patches
