ARL Content Change: Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Application Recognition Bug Fix Update
Summary : We identified an issue affecting the recognition of Microsoft SQL Server 2025 applications, where multiple SQL Server 2025 editions may be recognized on a device instead of only the edition that is installed.
Issue : Following the addition of new WMI evidence for SQL Server 2025 applications in the previous content release (Build #2994, 19th October 2026), we identified that a setting required to consolidate application recognition from WMI evidence was not enabled.
As a result, the recognition criteria were broader than intended, which could cause multiple SQL Server 2025 editions to be recognized on the same device.
Resolution : We have enabled the required setting for the affected SQL Server 2025 applications. This correction will be included in the content release scheduled for 26 October 2026.
Following this update, recognition will be consolidated so that only the appropriate installed SQL Server 2025 application and edition is recognized.
Customer Impact : After applying the content release scheduled for 26 October 2026, customers should see corrected recognition behavior for the affected Microsoft SQL Server 2025 applications.
No additional customer action is required beyond applying the updated content release.
Thank you!
