Our ACAS claims KB4583465 is missing but the required SQL version appears in Programs and Features and the registry. Ran SQL report, then reinstall attempt, then uninstallation of KB4057116 then install KB4583465 but none of these procedures work.

    Since SQL Server 2012 SP4 is out of extended support (ended 2022-07-12), it will be hard for you to find support.

    Hi ,

    Same question, not sure what ACAS is.
    Please see some concepts below:
    RTM: stands for Release to Manufacturing, which is the original release version of the product and the default version when downloaded from the CD or MSDN. However, nowadays, when you download the SQL Server version, there is also a version with SP integrated.
    Hotfix: An issue that needs to be fixed. Every year, there are many bugs or vulnerabilities in SQL Server, and the fixes for these issues are defined as Hotfix.
    Cumulative Update (CU): Cumulative update package, which consists of Hotfixes. CU is released every 8 weeks, so there will be CU1, CU2 ......, etc. Each latest CU version contains Hotfixes from the previous CU. CU is installed based on the original version (RTM) or SP.
    Service Package (SP): SP is the package with the most integrated Hotfixes, which are officially and fully tested. SP is the largest patch file for a SQL Server product release, and is released every 12 to 18 months.
    GDR (General Distribution Release) is different from CU in that each latest CU contains cumulative updates based on RTM/SP, while GDR contains only serious updates. They have the same baseline.
    Each latest CU contains fixes for issues integrated with the previous CU, and each SP contains fixes for issues included in the previous SP. Now look at the picture again.
    Here is a picture for your inference:

    Hope this will help you.

    Best regards,
    Seeya

    Our corporate Microsoft support says the patch is not supported by Windows Server 2012 R2 (as reported by Issue installing a SQL Security Update on Windows Server 2012 R2) and Tenable is processing the engineering request to update their test to close the false positive.

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, now how do I close this question as resolved?
