Which SCOM hotfixes should I apply?

This is updated as of 5-12-2024

 

In general – you should evaluate all hotfixes available, and only apply those applicable to your environment.  However, some of these below I have seen impact almost every environment, and should be heavily considered.

This list is nothing official…. this is just a general list of the recommended hotfixes I end up proactively applying to most environments…. it is not a complete list of ALL hotfixes, and you may be affected by other issues.

Recommended Windows Operating System Hotfixes:

Hotfix Resolves 
Applies to: Comments
2954185 Memory leak in WMIPRVSE.exe caused by monitoring DNS.  Agent role

Server 2012 R2
I recommend this hotfix on all Windows Server 2012 R2 DNS servers that are monitored using the DNS management pack, or any type of monitoring which leverages the DNS PowerShell providers.  The leak is caused by accessing the DNS PowerShell providers, which scripts will often call.
.NET 4.5.1

Config issues with Delta and Snapshot failures

Management Server

Server 2012

If your management servers are running Windows 2012 RTM (non R2) then you MUST upgrade .NET to 4.5.1 or 4.5.2.  This will resolve a problem seen in larger environments where Snapshot and Delta Config fail due to timeouts.

2923126 Agents on Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controllers can stop responding or heart-beating Agent role

Server 2012 R2
Windows 8.1
I recommend this hotfix on all Windows Server 2012 R2 servers that are experiencing this issue, or proactively on any WS2012R2 domain controller.
2790831 Handle leak in WmiPrvSE.exe process on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 Agent role 
Management Server


Server 2012
Windows 8
I recommend this hotfix to stop the handle leak that WILL occur without it.

    I don’t know if we need any of this in our environment (yet!), but I wanted to say kudos for the well-written post!
