IMPORTANT: This notice only affects environments where:
- The Microsoft Scan Cab is used to check for update compliance.
- The Scan Cab is used to manage updates for SQL Server 2019 on Windows.
- The July 2024 Scan Cab was downloaded or deployed before 12:30 PM PT on July 11, 2024.
An updated version of the July 2024 Scan Cab file with information about Microsoft security updates was made available today, July 11, 2024. This new cabinet file has new information related to a recent security update released for SQL Server 2019 on Windows (KB5040948).
This new Scan Cab replaces the Scan Cab released on Patch Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
How this affects your organization:
If you use the Scan Cab to manage updates for servers running on SQL Server 2019 on Windows, you should download and deploy the new cabinet file published today, July 11, 2024. In addition to all information about Microsoft security updates released earlier this week, this most recent Scan Cab includes information for KB5040948.
