Hi experts,
I recently update SQL Server 2012 to SP3 and I pre-install SQL native client(sqlncli.msi) on all Additional Application Server and reboot AAS while I was installing SP3 on SQL DB Server. I was told that the new SQL native client can perform online and will activate automatically after reboot.
However, I got the error message in DBACockpit and it shows one odbc has newer version than others? What happened?
Isn't odbc32.dll included in the SQL Native Client? How do I fix it? Install the new SQL Server Native Client in the SQL Server 2012 SP3 CU2?
There is one AAS installed by my colleague and I think he might install the newer version SQL Server Native client.

Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 SP3 Native Client
- Microsoft SQL Server Native Client (SQL Server Native Client) is a single dynamic-link library (DLL) containing both the SQL OLE DB provider and SQL ODBC driver. It contains run-time support for applications using native-code APIs (ODBC, OLE DB and ADO) to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, and SQL Server 2012. SQL Server Native Client should be used to create new applications or enhance existing applications that need to take advantage of new SQL Server 2012 features. This redistributable installer for SQL Server Native Client installs the client components needed during run time to take advantage of SQL Server 2012 features, and optionally installs the header files needed to develop an application that uses the SQL Server Native Client API.
