Re-offer reports confirmed for KB973869

 

Hi Folks – We have investigated reports that the KB973869 (MS09-037) update is re-offered through Automatic Updates and Windows Update on some x64 systems, after it has already been installed. We have identified some limited scenarios where this is occurring with Windows Server 2003 x64, Windows XP x64, and Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based systems. No systems are left unsecure due to this behavior. A revision to the update detection logic will be published shortly to prevent this update from being re-offered after it has been installed, and to ensure clients accurately describe the updates' installed status. If you have installed this update, you do not need to re-install the revision.

 

We apologize for this inconvenience,

 

The MU Team

    One of the nice features about Hyper-V virtualized environments is the flexibility with which you can manage disk space. In one of my earlier blog posts, entitled “Onward to VHDX“, I talked about using virtual disks and the conversion of disks to the new VHDX format in Hyper-V 2012. But what can you do if you find that you need additional disk space for your VM after you have used it for a while? The Hyper-V Manager has just the tools to help, by allowing you to create and attach a new virtual disk to your running VM. Just select your VM from the Hyper-V Manager’s list of VMs and you will see, in a panel on the right-hand-side, an item called “Settings…”. Clicking on it will open a pop-up which shows your VM’s current settings, and for certain types of hardware, will allow you to configure it while the VM is running. Note that some hardware changes will be grayed-out, requiring that the VM be shut down first. But for adding a disk, the really nice thing is that you do not have to reboot your VM if it can recognize the disk at run-time!
    Let’s walk through an example with a Hyper-V Unitrends Enterprise Backup (UEB) VM. After deployment, I have 80GB for my backups device, but I later find that it is not enough for my data protection needs, and I would like to add more. To add space, I go to Settings and then select “SCSI Controller”. I can then select “Add” for a Hard drive and follow the menus to add my disk.
    If I already have a virtual disk, I can browse to it and attach it to my VM. If I do not, I can click on “New” and go through the Virtual Hard Disk Wizard and create my new disk.

    I've had a similar expericence with Microsoft Update continually re-offering the KB956744 Security Update to XP SP3 (x86).

    I have this looping problem with KB973869, but the most disturbing thing was calling MS's security group to try and get help.  After being bounced around from one barely English speaking person to another, I finally got someone who told me that I would need to use one of my support incidents or pay for a new one to get this resolved, even though the problem was happening on all of my 64 bit systems and many others I found searching on the internet were having problems as well.

    Update is continually offering this KB hotfix on a Windows 2003 SBS (32 bit)

    Will the fix be an update for WSUS? Should we just leave the machines with the update prompt for now and it will just go away?  Lastly, is there an ETA for the detection logic update?

    Detection logic is also broken for KB94319 on Windows XP if you have Access Runtime 2003 installed. Also, if KB94319 is already installed and an attempt is then ade to install Access Runtime 2003, it will fail.

    I've had the same re-offer for KB973869 on NON-x64 XP SP3 systems for well over a month now.  PLEASE don't just limit the fix to x64 versions!

    I have had the re-offer on our two X64 XP SP3 engineering machines since the "critical" update was pushed out. I am starting to believe that no fix is in the works.

    So, I read this e-mail chain and I still don't see the solution to the detection problem referenced at the begining of this chain?

    Same here. kb973869 in endless loop on my x64 w2k3. 1 year after the mentioned fix. Either the fix didn't work or it only worked for a limited time period.
