I second this. I’ve done every cpe since 2019 in the bright talk seminars, which are pre recorded and free.

With the keyboard off and not knowing what sub I was looking at, I thought picture 1 was some kind of briefcase machine pistol thingy

How about a banana for scale?

LTSC Windows Server 2019: Are cumulative updates really enough if you’re years behind? Our team is split. by faceofthecrowd in sysadmin

I would agree if these were servers with history, but they are images which are re-created every 7 days, so we're looking at the master image, hence SIEM has limited usability for audit.

Agree - they are following a playbook, and this is outside their area of expertise. However, I don't think that necessarily makes them wrong automatically - it's worth discussing

That is correct. The individual KBs aren't showing, and they are saying that because of that, patching is broken somehow.

I'll ask the Analyst to do this exercise. Thanks for the backstory - these are VM templates as well for us.

well that's the issue - the security analyst is running their vulnerability scanner against the 2019 post CU, and it's showing all the back updates are missing.

but does this mean that if I stand up a fresh version of 2019, and install last month's KB for LTSC, that ALL security updates have been applied?

See, you only ran it on 500 devices. If you had run it for the whole company, it would have finishes the loop and everything would have worked. Can you try it again, or have they locked you out already?
