    The version string in newer SQL versions includes "RTM" followed by the CU/GDR level when applicable (such as "(RTM-CU24)" in your case). This has been the case since SQL Server 2017 because service packs are no longer used to distribute patches. In SQL Server 2016 and earlier versions, the version string indicates the service pack (or RTM if no SP is installed) followed by the CU/GDR level.
