I’m a bit confused with what to do with these modified patches.

We have already deployed 3 of these affected .Net patches to our Dev-Test servers. With no issues thankfully.

The baselines used for our Dev-Test environment will also be used for our Production environment pending a waiting period.

I noticed that on our baselines today, the affected .Net fixlets had to be ‘Sync’d with source’ - so does that mean my baselines now contain different versions of what was there last week when I rolled out to Dev-Test?

Am I correct in thinking that MS have re-released a newer version of these .Net patches in the Preview rollup dated 19/Feb (not yet visible in Bigfix), and so if we’ve already deployed the “old” versions to Dev-Test, we should wait and send the “new” versions to Dev-Test again, before deploying to production?

We’ve halted patching for now until we see the ‘new’ versions appearing in the Preview for March rollup.

Thanks in advance.

The patch binaries in these fixlets have not changed. The fixlet relevance was updated to address some detection issues.

The March preview patches will be released as new separate fixlets.
