You are correct. There is in fact an issue with the relevance distinguishing between windows 2012 and windows 2012r2. I reported it to dev about an hour ago and its being worked on urgently.

[Vinay]

The issue has been Fixed in Site Version 8.

[rameshwar]

We do not see any .net framework 4.7 relased for 2012 and only showing for 3.5 & 4.8 whereas Microsoft site is showing patches for all versions. Can you please verify and confirm the same?

Below are the table from MS site with KB numbers.

It is still not resolved. See the screenshot below where 2012 fixlet is detecting 2012 R2 servers.
Evern in Site version8.

KB5032343 is the parent KB for 2012R2 which consists of binaries for below Kbs

KB5032001
KB5031986
KB5031994

KB5032342 is the parent KB for 2012 which consists of Binaries for Below Kbs

KB5031998
KB5031985
KB5031992

Microsoft does not release Binaries for Parent Kbs , The one Kb which was missed from the above is KB5031986, which will be released Today and site version will be 9.

[shivakanthk]

In the site version 8 we have already updated our content relevance to have it relevant only for Win2012.
Kindly send refresh to client machines.

[rameshwar]

This patch kb5031986 & KB5031994 has some issue and looks like Microsoft has released new verisons.
