Microsoft pulls more Patch Tuesday updates

    Microsoft pulls more Patch Tuesday updates


    Posted: 15 Aug 2013
    This is exactly the reason I like to wait a day or 2 before installing patches to see if any problems pop up.

    Microsoft has pulled more security updates released during this month's patch Tuesday update after reports they are causing problems with Windows Server Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).

    The updates — KB 2843638, KB 2843639, and KB 2868846 — could cause ADFS to stop working, according to Microsoft, leading to the patches being removed from Windows Update and the Download Center.

    Microsoft has posted the following advice for users experiencing problems after installing the updates.

    "You may experience functionality issues with security update 2843639 if you do not have update 2790338 already applied. We recommend that customers who are experiencing these issues install update 2790338."

    More information on how to install update 2790338 is available here and how to deal with problems caused by the updates is here.

    No big deal for the average PC consumer.

    The updates were applied to Windows Servers 2008 and 2012 and designed to block a
    vulnerability that could reveal information about the service account being used
    by ADFS
    .

    KB28595937 is the one that has been causing grief for some normal PC consumers but that one hasn't been pulled by M$. Like Borg 386, I also wait before installing updates to see if any are reported as being troublesome. I generally wait until Saturday, right after I make my weekly backup image, before I download and install the updates.

    I didn't have any problems.

    In any case, I always clean up, defrag and create backup images, before I apply the Patch Tuesday updates.
