Improved Update Deployment Documents

denish — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:24:00 GMT

One of the biggest challenges we have had is providing customers with reliable and well organized documentation for updating their servers with the latest update including install sequence to get an RTM server to the latest version.

In the latest refresh of the documents we have made substantial improvements to make the documents more usable and easier to read. As we move forward with future cumulative updates and service packs we will continue to take feedback and update the documents to make them better.

Note: These links remain the same as previously published so if you already have them as favorites then you are already set.

denish — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:34:00 GMT

You may be interested in knowing that we have released the WSSv3 and MOSS blackout hotfixes. These are the fixes from between December and February while we were re-integrating the branches and could not produce hotfix builds.

The build number for the blackout hotfixes is 12.0.6303.5000. When you install it, the version information will record as 12.0.6303.5000. These hotfixes are also Post SP1 and include everything that was in the Post SP1 rollups (SharePoint hotfixes are cumulative). Therefore, if you would prefer to have both the SPLock fixes and the blackout fixes, we would recommend you issue the blackout hotifxes from:

WSSv3 Blackout rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948945 -

WSSv3 Localized Blackout rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948957
MOSS Blackout rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948947 (live in a couple of days, but you can already request it.)
