How do I clean residual data from my databases?
The following new system stored procedure is provided to physically clean residual data from the free space area of database pages in environments where the physical security of the data or backup files is at risk:

sp_clean_db_free_space

This stored procedure removes residual information left on database pages as a result of data modification routines in SQL Server. This procedure will clean all pages in all files of the database.

sp_clean_db_free_space
@dbname = 'database_name',
[ @cleaning_delay = 'delay_in_seconds' ]

Arguments

@dbname = 'database_name',

• The name of the database to clean. dbname is nvarchar(384) and cannot be NULL.

[ @cleaning_delay = 'delay_in_seconds' ]

• To reduce the impact on the IO system, a delay can be specified between the cleaning of pages. cleaning_delay is int with a default of 0.

Update Compatibility Evaluator and Application Compatibility Toolkit

Updates often write to the same files and registry settings required for your applications to run. This can trigger incompatibilities and increase the time it takes to deploy security updates. You can streamline testing and validating Windows updates against installed applications with the Update Compatibility Evaluator components included with Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0.

The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) contains the necessary tools and documentation to evaluate and mitigate application compatibility issues before deploying Microsoft Windows Vista, a Windows Update, a Microsoft Security Update, or a new version of Windows Internet Explorer in your environment.

/forcerestart	Restarts the computer after installation and force other applications to close at shutdown without saving open files first.
/warnrestart[:x]	Presents a dialog box with a timer warning the user that the computer will restart in x seconds. (The default setting is 30 seconds.) Intended for use with the /quiet switch or the /passive switch.
/promptrestart	Display a dialog box prompting the local user to allow a restart
Special Options
/overwriteoem	Overwrites OEM files without prompting
/nobackup	Does not back up files needed for uninstall
/forceappsclose	Forces other programs to close when the computer shuts down
/log:path	Allows the redirection of installation log files
/integrate:path	Integrates the update into the Windows source files. These files are located at the path that is specified in the switch.
/extract[:path]	Extracts files without starting the Setup program
/ER	Enables extended error reporting
/verbose	Enables verbose logging. During installation, creates %Windir%\CabBuild.log. This log details the files that are copied. Using this switch may cause the installation to proceed more slowly.

Note You can combine these switches into one command. For backward compatibility, the security update also supports many of the setup switches that the earlier version of the Setup program uses. For more information about the supported installation switches, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 262841. For more information about the Update.exe installer, visit the Microsoft TechNet Web site.

Verifying that the Update Has Been Applied

• Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
  To verify that a security update has been applied to an affected system, you may be able to use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool. See the section, Detection and Deployment Tools and Guidance, earlier in this bulletin for more information.

• File Version Verification
  Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.

1. Click Start, and then click Search.

2. In the Search Results pane, click All files and folders under Search Companion.

3. In the All or part of the file name box, type a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Search.

4. In the list of files, right-click a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Properties.

   Note Depending on the version of the operating system or programs installed, some of the files that are listed in the file information table may not be installed.

5. On the Version tab, determine the version of the file that is installed on your computer by comparing it to the version that is documented in the appropriate file information table.

   Note Attributes other than the file version may change during installation. Comparing other file attributes to the information in the file information table is not a supported method of verifying that the update has been applied. Also, in certain cases, files may be renamed during installation. If the file or version information is not present, use one of the other available methods to verify update installation.
