August 2025 Patch Tuesday Audit Report Issues

[PatchingThings]

Receiving the following error when trying to add the report: Microsoft August 2025 Patch Tuesday Audit.

'Try_Convert' is not a recognized built-in function name. 'Try_Convert' is not a recognized built-in function name. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'As'. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'As'. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'As'. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'As'. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'As'. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'As'.

Looking at last months report, 'Try_Convert' was not listed. It was just 'Convert'.

[doone128]

The fix for this is to replace 'try_convert' with just 'convert'. Here's the fixed script for you:

I have this too. 

[doone128]

@Esben_D Looks like this is the same issue that happened in August 2024 too. We're on SQL 2022 though and this try_convert message is still an issue.

[Esben_D]

SQL Server 2012 and onward should support it. The only reason I can find Try_Convert is not supported on later SQL versions is if you are running it with a compatibility level < 110

SELECT name, compatibility_level
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = DB_NAME();  -- current database

[doone128]

Our Lansweeper DB is running at 100, possible due to the fact that is was migrated via backup and restore from an older version. 

Changing the 'try_convert' to just 'convert' fixed the report for us.

[Esben_D]

Yeah its a tradeoff, the reason I used Try_convert is that there were enough cases where people had one asset somewhere that had a weird value scanned for X or Y which broke the entire report because it failed 1 conversion.

You could try and create a backup and raise the compatibility level.

[doone128]

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks.

I am guessing you are suggesting I should have posted there. You are correct. Is there a way to delete a post?
