SP2 for MOSS/WSS, Trial issue, August CU -What is the final status?

Hi folks,

ok, I know it has been posted already many times but still I’m receiving questions from customers
“what is now the current status about the update story?”

Well, I’ll try to light it up a little bit and may collect all information about it by now 😉 
Let’s start with the Service pack 2 …

Published in April 2009 the Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 was announced.

After publishing SP2 – the “issue that reverts SharePoint products to Trial Version” occurred,
which has been fixed now by this Hotfix for the Trial Issue after SP2 Install

*** Update 07/31/09: The Service Pack 2 download has been updated to include this fix ***

Published August 2009  the  KB 973400 – The full server package for WSS is available   but the MOSS package still was missing.
In this package there was found another issue with  “Reattaching content database by stsadm –addcontentdb …..”

*** Update 07/22/09: The MOSS package has been published ***

 

———————————————————————————————

*** Current Status 10/14/09 – SP 2 and August CU final and ready for download ****

 

So I collected now for you to download all relevant updates together with the latest bits 😉

Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Service Pack 2 contains all fixes released through February 2009, so you can install it directly on RTM build of the products.

KB 973400 – The full August cumulative update server package for WSS

KB 973399 – The full August cumulative update server package for MOSS

As usual, please bear in mind that you have to update your language packs as well!
