Hopefully, I am in the right forum for this question. This is a question about superseded patches and although in the case it deals with SQL, this could also be asked of any MS patches. I am currently patching an old SQL server. among other patches missing, I am missing MS09-004. After doing a bit of research, I have discovered that patch MS09-004 is superseded by patch MS09-062, which itself is superseded by patch MS10-003. However, patch MS10-003 only seems to address issues in Microsoft Office while MS09-004 and MS 09-062 address issues in SQL and Office. The confusion comes from the fact that MS10-003 replaces MS09-062 yet only seems to address issues in Office. When a patch replaces another, will it automatically address all the issues of the patches it replaces? In this case, will installing MS10-003 fix the issues of MS09-004 and MS09-062, even though MS10-003 deals with an office issue? Or does MS10-003 replaces nly the Office issues that are addressed by MS09-062, leaving the SQL issues unpatched?
I am grateful for any help. And if this isn't the right forum, please let me know where I can post this.
