2021-05 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 for x64-based Systems (KB5003171): Not Applicable
Unfortunately this new behavior breaks a smooth patchday with SCCM/MECM.
This month we have
Stack update
Cumulative Update (reboot required)
.Net Framework Update (reboot required)
SQL 2017 CU Update (reboot required)
So what happen on server that need the stack update, CU and for example .Net Framework?
MECM/SCCM will detect and install
Stack update
.Net Framework Update (reboot required)
and then waits for a reboot to install the Cumulative Update (reboot required) and then of course a second reboot is required....
Please fix this....
We had a similar issue. We target patches that are listed as 'required' by SCCM the Wednesday following Patch Tuesday, then apply them over the course of a week or so to various environments. The cumulative patch didn't get detected by SCCM as being required until after the SSU was applied. This consequentially missed our normal day we approve patches and schedule them, because it was not detected as 'required'. I don't recall having this issue with earlier monthly SSU/Cumulative patches. So essentially we now have to have a special patch cycle to get all those that were missed due to this behavior. Pernille-Eskebo Can we adjust this so that even w/o the required SSU installed the cumulative patch still shows up as 'Required'? Thanks.
Better patching experience this month.
SSU installs first and goes to install the CU. Just one reboot. Great job MS.... keep this way.
