Gone backwards from Service Pack 1

  • Hi,

    Has anyone seen this....?

    We have a set of SQL Server 2008 R2 servers to which service pack 1 was successfully applied. This correctly increased the Build number up to 2500.

    This weekend however we installed a windows updates server (WSUS) which applied a series of windows updates which included one (kb2494088) which took the version number back down to 10.50.1617.

    If I try to reapply SQLServer service pack 1 is says it's already applied.

    Looking in SSMS or doing "select @@version" shows that the version number is 1617.

    Comparing the file versions numbers on the DLLs with another instance it appears that I still have the correct files for service pack 1.

    Kind Regards,

    David

  • I've made some progress - uninstalling and then installing service pack 1 against the instance appears to have fixed it.

    (We've also removed the original update from our WSUS server.)

    If anyone knows a better solution I would still be interested as I have a number of instances to 'correct'. :crazy:

    Regards
