How to uninstall/remove security update for SQL Server 2012

My requirement is to uninstall/remove security update for SQL
Server 2012 Service Pack 1 only. so are these below steps are correct or do I need to take any extra precaution for uninstallation?
Go to Control panelàProgramsà
Programs and FeaturesàInstalled Updrtes, right click on update and uninstall
As per my knowledge in SQL Server 2005, we cannot uninstall a service pack. we have to uninstall SQL Server 2005 completely, and reinstall SQL Server 2005 with previous service
packs and updates. but Starting SQL Server 2008, we can uninstall a service pack using Control Panel.

  • Security Update for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 (KB2977320)

    So i have been trying to install this update on one of our servers since it is showing up on our MBSA scans but it has been failing on one of our machines with the error code: 0x80070643
    I downloaded the update and tired to install it manually. The installer returned: There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer. If that was true then why is SCCM still pushing the update to the machine and why
    is the MBSA showing that it needs the update? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

    Hi David,
    Based on my understanding, the error code: 0x80070643 was thrown out when you install KB2977320 with MBSA. And installation also failed when you download and install update manually.
    Regarding the error code: 0x80070643, it can be caused if the MSI software update registration has become corrupted, or if the .NET Framework installation on the computer has become corrupted. To fix this issue, we can follow these methods:
    Fix MSI software update registration corruption issues
    Repair the .Net Framework
    Uninstall and reinstall the .Net Framework
    For more information, please refer to this link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982.
    Besides, the security update is released for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2, please check the version of SQL Server you are using. About how to check the SQL Server version, please refer to this article: How to tell what SQL Server version you are running
    (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/). Then please download the Security Update for SQL
    Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 from this link (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43957), and retry install it manually.
    Best regards,

    FYI

    Hi Susan.  I hope there's a better 'fix' coming to replace this "uninstall the updates, restore, then reinstall the updates after the restore".  This kind of workaround requires that all of us remember that there's a problem
    with KB3023562 and KB3004375 from now until the end of WS2012E.  Not sure I'll remember this 6 months from now when the problem crops up during a restore.   -:(

  • Security Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3042553)

    Hello,
    Security Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3042553) has been advised to be critical update to deal with Vulnerability in HTTP.sys which could allow remote code execution.
    However due to some reason I am unable to apply the patch to any of the Windows 2012 R2 servers. It errors - The update is not applicable to your computer, when tried to install manually / locally.
    I tried to push it via WSUS and the patch is not getting detected by the servers.
    Regional language settings are set to match Windows display language (Which is English).
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue too? If so is there way to get this deployed please.
    Thank you.
    Kumar G

    Hi Kumar,
    I suggest you check the file version of Http.sys and compare it with the one documented in the KB article below:
    MS15-034: Vulnerability in HTTP.sys could allow remote code execution: April 14, 2015
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3042553

    MDS related fix is:
    FIX: Add three stored procedures to clean up history that is created when you use SQL Server 2012 MDS
    http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036601
    After using MDS for a while, the transaction/validation/staging history may grow very large. In this CU we provide 3 store procedure to clean them up manually.
    The fix will be ported over to SQL 2012 SP2 and SQL 2014 CUs in the coming 2 months.
    In next SQL Server release, it will be automated by MDS maintenance job.
    --@ModelID is the model ID that you clean up the log for.
    --@CLeanupOlderThanDate is the date before that the logs or records is deleted.
    DECLARE @CleanupOlderThanDate date = '<Date>', @ModelID INT = <ID>
    --Cleanup Transaction History
    EXEC mdm.udpTransactionsCleanup @ModelID, @CleanupOlderThanDate;
    --Cleanup Validation History
    EXEC mdm.udpValidationsCleanup @ModelID, @CleanupOlderThanDate;
    --Cleanup entity-based staging table
    EXEC mdm.udpEntityStagingBatchTableCleanup @ModelID, @CleanupOlderThanDate;

    Hi SelvaOnline,
    I would recommend to install SP2 and the hotfix that came after it.
    If you don't have a reason to install a CU than don't bother with it.

  • SQL Server 2012 Cumulative update package 2 (CU2) for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 - why only for x86 ?

    Hey guys...
    Im a little bit confused... i wanted to download the newest hotfixes for SQL server 2012...
    But the download for :
    2983175 Cumulative update package 2 (CU2) for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack
    is only for the platform: x86 available ... but my SQL server 2012 is running in a x64 environment...
    (when i checked the older cumulative updates... they're all only for x86.. can someone tell me why ? )
    thanks and regards,
    Dominic

    There doesn't exist an SQL Express "Standard". It's two different editions.
    For Express there are three 32bit/64bit editions:
    Express, Express with Tools and Express with Advanced Services.
    Express with Tools is essentially Express with Management Studio Tools, Express with Advanced Services adds also BI (Business Intelligence) + Reporting Services.
    As for where you can apply the cumulative update, on the link you can see this:
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, when used with:
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Web

  • What licenses and how many should be taken for SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition

    Hi,
    Could you help me please with my problem: what licenses (per core or Server + CAL) should I take for SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition for the following environment:
    SQl Server will be installed on VM with 1 core.
    Physical processor is Intel Xeon CPU E7-4830, 2.13 GHz, 2131 Mhz.
    Few people will have an access to the VM but SQL server is used for a web-application for about 200 users from Active Directory.
    Great thanks in advance,
    Lena

  • Problem to create "New Database Diagram" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012 SQL Express

    Hi,
    I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition (name of installation media: en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe) from MSDN and I have installed the application on my pc with Windows 7 Exterprise.
    Everything is working fine except when I am trying to create "New Database Diagram", where I recieve following error message:
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
    BUTTONS:
    OK
    I have tried two times to reinstall SQL Server 2012 Express and I have installed Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2012 and restarted the machine, but I have still the same problem with the same error message.
    Installed the following fixes:
    1) 2012_RTM_DAC_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
    2) SQLServer2012_RTM_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
    These files was installed successful.
    How can I solve the problem?
    BR
    Jan Nilsson

    Hi Jan,
    Have you installed Visual Studio in your machine?
    The problem seems to be related to installing and uninstalling the VS 2011 RC0 program.
    The workaround involves copying the files from another PC with SQL 2008 or 2012 from one machine to another. Just replace this folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8
