install windows security patches into SAP ABAP systems

[former_member253432]

Hello everybody,

looking for your advice,

in fact, all Our SAP systems installed into windows 2008 SP1, and we need to install the security patches, to ensure that they are up-to-date.

Just wondering, if there is any potential impact to the SAP system when doing so, and what is the best practise to follow when installing any Microsoft patches to SAP servers.

Best Regards,

hi,

please see SAP-Note 30478

From our (SAP's) point of view it is important to install both: SPs and security fixes. We are handling a quite big number of customer message just because they are not running a current SP.

Kind regards

Peter

Dear Khalid,

Please also go through these notes.

forget this one:

     1567194 - Microsoft Patch Certification WS&O 1.0 - 2008 and later

It is just covering the clicksoft software and is outdated (information ends with Windows Server 2003, last update in may 2011).
