Convenience rollup update for windows 7 sp1

Introduction

This article describes a convenience rollup for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computers. This rollup package includes most updates that were released after the release of SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, through April 2016. This convenience rollup is intended to make it easy to integrate fixes that were released after SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. We recommend that Enterprises include this rollup package in the image creation process to make it easier to quickly set up a computer.

Known issues in this convenience rollup

• Known issue 1 Symptoms

  A new Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that has default settings may replace the previous NIC and cause network issues. Any custom settings on the previous NIC persist in the registry but aren’t used.

  Resolution

  To fix this issue, run the following VBS script. Copy and paste this script into Notepad, and then save the file with a .vbs extension.

  Instructions

  Before you run the script, make sure that you back up the following registry key and subkeys:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI
  
  This script can be run on physical or virtual computers at any of the following times:

  • Immediately before installing the Convenience Rollup.

  • Immediately after installing the Convenience Rollup but before restarting the following update installation.

  • After installing Convenience Rollup 3125574 and after restarting even though the computer is in a problem state. In this situation, another restart will be required after the script is run.

  
  Note The script also includes binary version checks around PCI.SYS file.

• Known issue 2 Symptoms

  After you install this rollup, virtualized applications in Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) versions 4.5, 4.6, and 5.0 may have problems loading. When these problems occur, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

  Launching MyApp 100%

  Note In this error message, MyApp represents the name of the App-V application.

  Depending on the scenario, the virtualized app may freeze after it starts, or the app may not start at all.

  Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  322756 How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
  Resolution

  To fix this known issue, configure the TermSrvReadyEvent registry entry on the computer on which the Microsoft Application Virtualization Client is installed.

  For Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0

  • Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Subsystem\ObjExclusions
    Value name: 93 (or any unique value)
    Type: REG_SZ
    Data: TermSrvReadyEvent

    Example
    For example, type the following command at an elevated command prompt to add the entry to a system that is running Application Virtualization 5.0:

    reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Subsystem\ObjExclusions /v 93 /t REG_SZ /d TermSrvReadyEvent

  For Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.6

  • 
    For all supported x86-based systems

    Registry Key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\SystemGuard\ObjExclusions
    Value name:95 (or any unique value)
    Type:REG_SZ
    Data: TermSrvReadyEvent

    Example
    For example, type the following command at an elevated command prompt to add the entry to an x86-based system that is running Application Virtualization 4.6:

    reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\SystemGuard\ObjExclusions /v 95 /t REG_SZ /d TermSrvReadyEvent

  • 
    For all supported x64-based systems

    Registry Key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\SystemGuard\ObjExclusions
    Value name: 95 (or any unique value)
    Type: REG_SZ
    Data: TermSrvReadyEvent

    Example
    For example, type the following command at an elevated command prompt to add the entry to an x64-based system that is running Application Virtualization 4.6:

    reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\SystemGuard\ObjExclusions /v 95 /t REG_SZ /d TermSrvReadyEvent

• Known issue 3
  
  Symptoms
  

  After you install this rollup, if outgoing NTLM traffic is blocked by using the following group policy setting:

  Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\SecurityOptions\Network Security: Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers Group Policy object (GPO) backup operations will fail with both Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) as well as PowerShell with the following error message:

  A directory Service error has occurred

  Additionally, gpmgmt.log will log the following errors:

  [XXX.XXX] DateTime [WARNING] LdapConnectServer: ldap_bind_s failed with 0x80072095

  
  Resolution

  1.

  You can use a Windows 8.1 or newer operating system to perform the GPO Backups instead.

  -OR-

  2. To fix this known issue, configure an exception for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Systems doing GPO Backup operations, in order to enable outgoing NTLM authentication:

  • Configure an exception through GPO (for example: ldap/contoso.com)

    Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\SecurityOptions\Network Security: Restrict NTLM: Add remote server exceptions

  • Configure an exception through the registry (for example: ldap/contoso.com)

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\MSV1_0\<ClientAllowedNTLMServers>

• Known issue 4
  
  Symptoms
  

  After you install this rollup, in some cases, you may notice that the robocopy mirroring (/MIR) command is not working as expected. It is observed that instead of only copying modified files from Source to Destination, robocopy is also copying the files that were not modified.

  Command where the issue is observed:

  Robocopy <source> <destination> /MIR [<options>]
  
  
  Resolution
  

  To fix this issue, you are advised to use archive attribute based mirroring. In this mode, robocopy mirroring makes sure to only copy files that were modified in Source and skip the rest.

  Command for archive attribute based mirroring:

  Robocopy <source> <destination> /MIR /A /M [<options>]
  
  Note
  In first pass, it will still copy all the files. However, in subsequent runs, it will only copy the files that were modified.

• Known issue 5
  
  Symptoms
  

  32-bit applications can’t change local Group Policy in 64-bit version of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

  Resolution

  To fix this issue, uninstall the update KB3125574.

Microsoft все же объявила о выпуске сабжа, но просит пользователей не называть его так. Второй пакет обновлений называется rollup update или просто «накопительный пакет обновлений», коим он и является по сути. Набор обновлений предназначен для пользователей Windows 7 SP1 и не является обязательным, он также не будет распространяться через центр обновлений Windows Update. Пакет обновлений получил идентификатор KB3125574 (Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1).

Основная цель, которую преследует Microsoft выпуском этого пакета обновлений, заключается в том, чтобы помочь организациям, все еще повсеместно использующим Windows 7, оперативно получать установленную ОС с последними обновлениями, так как сам накопительный пакет может быть интегрирован в оффлайн дистрибутивы Windows 7. Microsoft также поменяла формат публикации пакета обновления, теперь вместо standalone-дистрибутива, он будет распространяться с использованием уже достаточно забытого механизма Microsoft Update Catalog, которым можно воспользоваться только через веб-браузер Internet Explorer.

Для установки пакета обновлений на Windows 7, пользователь должен иметь установленный SP1, а также обновление KB3020369 (April 2015 servicing stack update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2). Пакет включает в себя все security и прочие обновления для Windows 7, которые были выпущены с начала выпуска SP1 и до апреля 2016 г. Это же обновление доступно для пользователей Windows Server 2008 R2. Напомним, что ранее Microsoft категорически открестилась от выпуска Service Pack 2 для Windows 7.

We’re happy to announce today that we’re making available a new convenience rollup for Windows 7 SP1 that will help. This convenience rollup package, available to download from catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3125574, contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up through April 2016. Install this one update, and then you only need new updates released after April 2016.

Более подробную информацию о работе с обновлением можно получить по ссылкам ниже.

support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3125574

Само обновление доступно для загрузки по следующей ссылке.

catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3125574

Еще одним примечательным фактом является то, что Microsoft изменила политику выхода не security обновлений для Windows 7 SP1 и Windows 8.1 (включая Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 и Windows Server 2012 R2). Если ранее они могли выпускаться порциями несколько раз в месяц, то теперь они будут выходить строго раз в месяц и представлять из себя одно целое обновление. Обновления как и прежде будут доступны через центр обновлений Windows Update.

Microsoft is making easier for users to keep Windows 7 up to date with the release of the “Convenience Rollup”. If you’re still on Windows 7, you probably are familiar the way Windows Update works after a clean install: You install the operating system, and then wait hours to download and install the over 200 hundred updates that have been released since the release of the operating system.

Even though, the software giant spends a lot of time working on Windows 10, the company acknowledges that millions of computers still running the good old Windows 7. As such, to help users and organizations make the installation of updates a more straightforward process, Microsoft is now making available the “Windows 7 SP1 Convenience Rollup”.

The Convenience Rollup (KB3125574) is a new package that we can refer as a cumulative update. It contains all the security and non-security fixes published since the day Microsoft released the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 until April 2016. Everything in one update. (Let’s be clear that this is NOT the Windows 7 SP2.) However, the new package doesn’t include any updates for .NET or Internet Explorer 11.

Microsoft notes that the convenience update is not a requirement for PC running this version of the operating system. Also, in order to get the new update, you must have installed Service Pack 1 and the April 2015 servicing stack update (KB3020369) for Windows 7.

Monthly cumulative updates

In addition, moving forward Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 devices will get a single update every month containing all the non-security updates for that particular month, instead of having to download individual updates for each fix.

These new changes are being implemented to simplify and improve the reliability of updates to keep Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 more secure and up to date.

Всем привет!
В мае 2016 года Microsoft выпустила новое кумулятивное (накопительное) обновление для операционных систем Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32bit и 64bit) и Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64bit). Чисто формально, обещание, данное в 2012-м году, выполнено: данный пакет обновлений называется не Service Pack 2, а «Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1». Но уж очень сильно данный пакет похож на SP2. Номер этого обновления — KB3125574. Это обновление не качается через Windows Update (Центр обновления Windows), имеет в наборе много очень важных обновлений и скачать его можно только через IE.

Данное обновление недоступно в Центре обновления Windows, для его установки необходимо вручную загрузить программный пакет с официального сайта Microsoft Update Catalog (Каталог Центра обновления Майкрософт). Нужно учесть, что Microsoft поступила в своём стиле: зайти на сайт Microsoft Update Catalog можно только с браузера Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 или более поздней версии.

Поэтому, если вы не пользуетесь браузером Internet Explorer, то рекомендую скачать этот большой пакет обновления по прямым ссылкам ниже:


KB3125574-v4-x86 — для Windows 7 SP1 x86 (32 битная). 

KB3125574-v4-x64 — для Windows 7 SP1 x64 и Windows Server 2008 R2 x86-64.

Эти ссылки могут перестать работать в любое время.

Размер загружаемого обновления составляет 316 Мбайт для 32-битной редакции Windows 7 и 477 Мбайт (становится 476 Мбайт после скачивания на компьютер) для 64-битных редакций Windows 7 и Windows Server 2008 R2.

Примечание №1.
Ваша Windows 7 должна быть с пакетом обновление SP1, иначе пакет KB3125574 не установится! Кроме того, перед установкой KB3125574 у вас должно быть установлено другое небольшое обновление — KB3020369, иначе KB3125574 также не установится.

Примечание №2.
Следует учесть, что данный пакет не включает в себя некоторые ранее выпущенные «заплатки», но зато включает в себя несколько «шпионских» обновлений, которые добавляют функцию телеметрии и подготавливают семёрку к переходу на Windows 10.
Например, вот эти:
KB3068708 — устанавливает сервис
телеметрии, готовит систему к апгрейду на Windows 10, внедряет «программу улучшения качества программного обеспечения» (CEIP) Win7, Win8.1,
Server 2008 R2, Server 2012 R2.

KB3075249 — добавляет телеметрию в consent.exe (UAC-трекинг) Win7, Win8.1, RT8.1, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012 R2.

KB3080149 — исправления часовых поясов, ещё больше телеметрии, возможно CEIP в Win7 SP1, 8.1, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012 R2.

После установки большого пакета обновления KB3125574, можно избавится от нежелательных «шпионских» обновлений, удалив их через командную строку. Введите в командной строке следующие команды и нажмите Enter:

wusa.exe /kb:3080149 /uninstall /quiet /norestart

Вместо /kb:3080149 указывайте нужный номер обновления для удаления, потом перезагрузите компьютер.
Совет: удобнее и быстрее скопировать и вставить эти коды через мышку, чем вводить их на клавиатуре.

Установка пакета KB3125574 занимает примерно 15 минут (на системе с 4-х ядерным процессором, 16 Гбайт ОЗУ DDR3, и SSD-накопителем 120 Гб), в ходе которых производится две перезагрузки. На более слабых компьютерах установка может занять от получаса до часа. Версия семёрки не меняется: «сборка 7601, Service Pack 1».

Подведём итоги.

Стоит ли вообще устанавливать этот большой пакет обновления KB3125574 (а-ля Service Pack 2)? Определённо стоит, если Центр обновления Windows 7 у Вас отключен вообще и ранее Вы не устанавливали практически ни одного обновления (либо, устанавливали очень редко выборочные обновления). Ведь, многие пользователи Windows 7 предпочитают отключить Центр обновления и не ставить в систему всё подряд. В пакете KB3125574 содержится много важных обновлений, которые улучшают стабильность Windows 7, устраняют несколько багов и залатывают некоторые дыры в безопасности.
Если же у вас Центр обновления работает в автоматическом режиме, то наверняка большинство из этих обновлений уже установлены в вашей системе.

Here is a great news for all Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 users! Microsoft has released “Convenience Rollup” package for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 operating systems which contains almost all updates and hotfixes which have been released after the release of SP1 (Service Pack 1) for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.

Previously whenever you performed a clean install of Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 operating system, you first had to install SP1 and then you needed to download and install all post-SP1 updates via Windows Update program. There are more than 100 updates and hotfixes which have been released for these OS after the release of SP1. So it takes lots of time and Internet bandwidth in downloading and installing those updates.

Many Windows 7 users also face problems in downloading updates via Windows Update as it always keeps showing checking for updates message for hours and does nothing.

Related: [Fix] Windows 7 Keeps Checking for Updates for Hours

Having a single rollup package containing all post-SP1 updates will become a boon for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 users. Now you’ll no longer need to download those hundreds of updates again and again in every fresh installation of these OS and no need to wait for the download completion. You just need to download the rollup package once and then you can install all updates offline without any need of Internet connection each time you perform clean installation of Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2.

Microsoft has named this updates rollup package as “Convenience Rollup (KB3125574)” and it includes almost all post-SP1 updates through April 2016. After installing this rollup package, you’ll only need to install future updates released after April 2016 if available. Remember this rollup package is completely optional and it will not be offered via Windows Update. So its up to you whether you want to download and install it or not.

Since Microsoft has already announced that there will be no more service packs for Windows OS, you can consider this convenience rollup package as SP2 (Service Pack 2) for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 operating systems.

If you want to download Convenience rollup package, you can download it from following link:

Download Convenience Rollup Package for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2

Please note that the above mentioned update catalog page can only be accessed using Internet Explorer 6.0 or later web browser as the webpage uses ActiveX components. Other web browsers will not be able to open the download page properly.

How to Download Convenience Rollup Package?

If you get confused by the look and functionality of update catalog page and can’t understand how to download the rollup package from that page, following simple steps will help you in downloading the pack without any problems:

1. First of all open the above mentioned page in Internet Explorer 6.0 or later version.

2. Now you’ll see 3 updates listed on the page:

• Update for Windows 7
• Update for Windows Server 2008 R2
• Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems

If you are using Windows 7 32-bit (x86) edition, you need the first update. If you are using Windows Server 2008 R2, you need the second update obviously. If you are using Windows 7 64-bit (x64) edition, you need the third update which is marked for x64-based systems.

NOTE: The rollup updates for Windows 7 64-bit (x64) and Server 2008 R2 are identical i.e. both files are same. So if you want to download rollup package for both Windows 7 64-bit and Server 2008 R2, download any of the 2 rollup packages and then you can install that package in both the OS.

You can get information about the installed Windows edition in your computer using System Properties window which can be accessed by right-clicking on Computer icon on Desktop and selecting “Properties” option.

Once you have decided which update you need to download, click on the Add button given after the update name. It’ll add that update in download basket. If you want, you can add more than one update in download basket.

3. Now click on “View Basket” link and then click on “Download” button.

So this rollup package includes all security and non-security recommended updates but it doesn’t contain any Get Windows 10 (GWX) or telemetry related update as far as I know.

Please note that some updates are not included in this convenience rollup package such as updates that require user actions, that introduce behavior changes and that don’t have broad applicability. Also this rollup package doesn’t include any servicing updates for Internet Explorer. You’ll need to download these updates manually via Windows Update after installing this rollup package. Don’t worry! There are very few updates which are not included in this rollup package and you can download and install them from Windows Update within few minutes.

PS: Interested people can slipstream/integrate this rollup package into Windows 7 setup ISO image file using 3rd party software such as 7Customizer or NTLite so that they can already have all post-SP1 updates of this rollup included in every clean installation of Windows 7.
