Hello, how is everbody doing?
I just got delegated WSUS management but I have no idea of anything SQL-related, I've never worked at all with it. Currently we have the following versions running:
-SQL2005
-SQL2008R2
-SQL2012
We would like to update these softwares but, when I log in on a server, I see there plenty of programs installed with (for example) SQL 2012:
-Data-tier app framework
-Management Objects
-Transact-SQL Compiler
-Transact-SQL ScriptDom
-SQL Server System CLR Types
-Visual C++ 2010
-Visual Studio 2010 shell
-VSS Writer for SQL Server 2012
My question is: is there a any special procedure to update SQL? is there any steps regarding applications I should take when doing this? what software should I update first? Must I patch ALL of these programs (Visual Studio and Visual C++ included)?
The updates that I install, do they upgrade all features installed?
Thanks.
