SHA-2 Code Signing Update Prerequisite

SHA-2 Code Signing Update Prerequisite

Hi everyone

I have spent the last few hours reading through the release notes for the latest Windows Updates. What caught my attention is e.g. https://support.microsoft.com/en-za/help/4516033/windows-7-update-kb4516033 where it says that the SHA-2 update (KB4474419) and the SSU must be installed before any other updates are installed.

Does Desktop Central / ManageEngine pay attention to these details? I don't get the impression to be honest as all other September updates are available for installation even though these two updates have not been installed yet.

Also, last month a few updates caused problems if Symantec antivirus was installed. The updates were offered by Desktop Central regardless. The detection logic was only updated a few days later.

I get the impression there is room for improvement.

Regards
Stefan
