Makeover Hyper-V Update List for Windows Server 2012 and R2

March 27, 2014 6 Comments Hans VredevoortWritten by Hans Vredevoort

There are several update lists available on TechNet. Some are curated by the product team and some are kept up-to-date by MVP’s and other people in the community. For easy reference we decided to place a shortcut to these lists in the header of Hyper-V.nu.

The following hotfix and update lists are available:

  • Hyper-V: Update List for Windows Server 2012
  • Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2012-based failover clusters (updated by Cluster product team)
  • Hyper-V: Update List for Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2012 R2-based failover clusters clusters (updated by Cluster product team)

Because notably the Windows Server 2012 list had become a bit of a mess, I have rearranged the list, removed outdated or replaced hotfixes and added a sorted date column.

I have also updated the XML file for both Windows Server 2012 and R2 so that you can use a PowerShell cmdlet to quickly scan your Hyper-V hosts if a hotfix or update is installed or not. These files can be downloaded from my OneDrive.

Run the update checker like this:
.\HyperV2012R2UpdatesCheck.ps1 [name host1]

    Actually,

    For Windows Server 2012 R2 KB2894032 should be replaced with KB2903939 and KB976424 says “Install on every domain controller that is running Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows Server 2008 R2”

    Is HyperV2012R2UpdatesCheck.ps1 really on your OneDrive, it appears only the non-R2 version of the script is available?

      Hi Miha,
      You should find one *.ps1 and two *.xml file in the ZIP.
      I just downloaded and tested the HyperV2012R2UpdateCheck.ps1 after extracting these files to the server disk.
      There is a separate file for WS2012 R2 with Update (top) and WS2012 R2 (bottom).

      Best regards, Hans

        Found it, thank you. I was only looking in this blog post, not the provided links.

    Goedenavond,

    Ik kan de versie voor Server 2012 R2 niet vinden.
    Staat deze nog op je Onedrive?
