The Windows Updates Compatibility Test for HMC 4.5 of this month has completed(exclude update for Windows Server 2003 KB968930), all test cases have been run and the result is Pass.
The test environment 1 is built based on Windows 2008 and Windows 2003 according to our official deployment guideline.
The test environment 2 is fully built on Windows 2003 R2.
Items in yellow section are updates newly installed in our test environment since latest report. and the machine names show the roles the update has been deployed to.
