- SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 2
- SharePoint Foundation 2010 with Service Pack 2 ISO available!
– For SharePoint Server with SP2 slipstreamed please check your MSDN/VLSC subscriptions to download it! - If you also have Project Server 2010 in your farm, you’ll find the full server package for project server here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/projectserver/gg176680
- Effective with SP2 all subsequent CU’s released after SP2 requires now the service pack 2 as new baseline for installation!
Note:
The bits of RTM version are shown in central admin page with Build number “14.0.4762.1000” but it’s actually “14.0.4763.1000” – So no worry about 😉
In case of early publishing, some KB article might not be available right away while the download links already working. Please consider, that delay’s in publishing the according KB articles will be expected!
)1 = in the KB articles for the October 2013 CU there is the Build Number 14.0.7110.5000 mentioned but after installing the Oct. 2013 CU, you’ll find the Build Version 14.0.7108.5000 shown in the central admin.
If you want to be sure that you have installed the right CU/Version, see here for more info about it:
- Common question: why does the version number on the “Servers in Farm” page not change after installing October CU?
- SharePoint does not have a build version. Full Stop.

Background Information of Cumulative Update (CU)
Cumulative update packages for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 containing hotfixes for the issues that were fixed since the release of SharePoint foundation and SharePoint Server 2010. ´
They are sometimes also called “Uber Package”.
After applying the preceding updates, run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard or “psconfig –cmd upgrade –inplace b2b -wait” in command line.
This needs to be done on all servers in the farm with SharePoint 2010 installed.
As usually, you should start with the server, hosting the central admin and finishing it there, after all other servers has been updated as well!
The other servers now can run the psconfig wizard in parallel (on MOSS we had to run them sequentially, one by one).
Please see also here for more general info: Common Question: What is the difference between a PU, a CU and a COD?
See also “SharePoint patching demystified”
Recommended Update sequence of packages:
As commented by the escalation folks at Microsoft, it should be sufficient to apply only the SharePoint Server2010 “Uber” packages (aka MOSS14; SPS2010) as these contains the SharePoint Foundation packages (aka WSSv4; MSF2010) as well. But still there is a recommendation to stick on the “old common” approach…
Resource: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2010 – Updates | TechNet
Extract:
Best practice (this is my opinion and is the result of daily support challenges and issues, that are related to this process!)
For any given build you may find that it is not necessary to install a SharePoint Foundation 2010 update before you install a SharePoint Server 2010 update. This flexibility in the installation sequence is part of the software update system design. However, there might be times where it is necessary to remove this flexibility in order to properly fix a specific issue.
As per this Link now: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff800847.aspx
“…it is no longer necessary to install the SharePoint Foundation cumulative update and then install the SharePoint Server cumulative update.”
Well yes, its true and you can do so if it is more applicable for your Environment. but I still may recommend to follow as above to keep the best consistency for any updates as well for future.
But yeah, if you don’t want to go the extra step, for common CU updates, the server package (SharePoint) or the full Project Server package suffices all your needs, 😉

Note:
Installing language packs on the Web servers
After you install the necessary language files on the Web servers, you can install the language packs. Language packs are available as individual downloads (one download for each supported language). If you have a server farm environment and you are installing language packs to support multiple languages, you must install the language packs on each of the Web servers.
Important:
The language pack is installed in its native language. For example, the Russian language pack executable file is in Russian…
SharePoint Foundation 2010 language packs are not required for SharePoint Server 2010 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262108.aspx)

Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2010:
Note!
The office Web apps are not like the SharePoint Server updates. They are mostly released either as a single hotfix/update, a security fix or sometimes even as a bulk pack.
So please consider to check via the Windows update services, the Office Team Blogs as listed below and/or via the links from the below table
The Updates for Office Web apps are not maintained in detail like the SharePoint CU updates in this post! I’m only lisitng the most important or Service Packs,
so please apologize if not all updates or not the most recent news are published just-in-time.
If in doubt, run the windows Update service on your Server, hosting the Office Web Apps and check if there is any office web app offered. 😉

SharePoint mysteries and more... 
@Steve
Thanks for the reply. The link in the OWA section does point to the "Update Office Web Apps (Installed on SharePoint 2010 Products)" which has not been updated since 2011 and describes SP1 as the most up-to-date version. So unless there have been no patches
since 2011 (which seems impossible given that SP2 is out) that page is very out-of-date.
Also, are OWA hotfixes ever rolled up, or does patching OWA to the most up-to-date version involve scouring for all the past hotfixes and downloading and installing them individually? Take this KB article for example:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000434 in regards to OWA. Is the only way to patch this security vulnerability always going to be to install that specific hotfix or would it be resolved through any other
hotfix or rolled into a later patch?

@Steve
How do I determine the most recent versions of OWA for SharePoint 2010? The link listed for "Update Office Web Apps (Installed on SharePoint 2010 Products)" points to an article from 2011. Once I installed SP2, my version numbers for all of OWA went to "14.0.7015.1000"
but subsequent CU installs have not modified this version. I am currently under the impression that CUs do not patch OWA and it must be patched separately. How do I determine the most recent version and where should I get the updates?

Nice list and other useful information. Thank you for putting it together and keeping it up to date.
I have a question about language pack build numbers.
After installing Dec. 2012 CU on all servers in the farm, I checked the Patch Levels Status (http://servername:port/_admin/PatchStatus.aspx) and see that while core sharepoint and the databases are 14.0.6131.5003, the various language packs are mostly 14.0.6029.1000 (SP1), but some items for each language pack range from 14.0.6029.1000 to 14.0.6131.5003.
Shouldn't all the build numbers be the same?
Or are their specific CUs/Patched for the language packs that need to be applied after installing a CU?
Thank you,
Tom

Hi Kristin: as many times already posted, the version is based on that file with the highest patch build. The version shown in central admin, config DB or from the Microsoft.sharepoint*.* dll’s can vary and does not necessary reflect the exact same number

HI Dennis, this is probably a security fix that might have had some sharepoint bits updated as well. Actually it is a build post SP2 already and the next higher CU would have been October 2013 CU = 14.0.7110.5000.

Hey Bo,

A recent Question about updating WAC (aka Office web app Server) reached me and here is the conversation:
Q:
My customer is in SharePoint Server 2010, with August 2012 CU. They have Office Web Apps SP1 in place. They are thinking of updating Office Web Apps. I think that latest that we have that’s publicly available is June 2011 CU (support.microsoft.com/…/2553919). According to the KB article, this is a hotfix but we refer to it as a CU. Since it is a hotfix, it’s a single update. Does this mean that the customer should have installed a CU prior to June 2011 CU?
A:
The referenced KB is a single hotfix for a specific issue with Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 by using Web apps. So it is not a full WAC packages nor is it a CU.
However, unfortunately there is no matrix or alignment between the WAC updates and the default SharePoint CU’s.
So in case you want have them anyway,
There are no “server/rollup packages” for Office Web Apps, and none of the SharePoint packages will contain Office Web App Fixes. You must download each individual Office Web App Patch and apply it.
The only direct mapping is the Service pack level and all other “hotfixes” are single packs mostly for a certain version i.e. Excel, PowerPoint, Access etc. and they are only recommended to be installed
IF YOU HAVE THE DESCRIBED ISSUE!

…it is being referred as June "CU" in this blog: blogs.technet.com/…/patching-office-web-apps-to-sp1-and-june-cus-including-sharepoint-server-2010.aspx
Step 1: SharePoint Server 2010 SP1: support.microsoft.com/…/2460045

Step 4: Office Web Apps June CU: support.microsoft.com/…/2553919

The blog you mentioned, describes the special circumstance with our SP1 and June CU geared up to each other and hence needs to be applied in that order 😉
For all later CU’s for SharePoint, there is no mapping to single hotfixes for office web apps.
The WAC fixes are mostly security fixes and should come via WSUS or Windows online update anyway.
If not, its only recommended to install these fixes if you having the described problems.
There appear to be a couple of fixes for office web apps fix for October 2011 and they are KB 2687562, KB 2687617, 2760391, and 2687614 but these are for single product versions like one for excel, PowerPoint a.s.o. None of them is considered as a full WAC rollup packages and hence each one considered only for a specific issue.
Hope that helps,

Is there a documentation that matches which OWA CUs are required/needed in a particular SP2010 CU?

@Jonny Smooth Bravo:
sorry for delayed answer. although you found already the other post. But just to get back to your first question:
"Why is this so difficult, why are there not any indication of these issues mentioned in any of the KB articles for the CU or service pack?"
Answer:
Service Packs are usually intensive tested and also being passed through Beta testing stages same as our main porducts. But even then, we cannot find each and every bug Prior to it's occurence if it is not reported during beta nor might be fixed Prior public release.
There are lots of circumstances that can Impact and change the behavior on installing SP's which we cannot test all possible Scenarios.
CU's are not stress tested same as SP's and hence can have more often regressions and/or other unexpected issues.
Sometimes, we find Problems after Publishing and by reports from Customers when doing the updates.
These we will follow up asap and of course trying to do the updates in either our Escalation Engineer's Posts and/or changing the KB's etc. as quickly we can
but this might often takes some time and will not always reach you right in time while you do the update.
That's why we always pray to "test it before applying into production, learn, repeat testing"

Hi Kyle,
as already said, I haven’t had time to maintain it accurately but did some changes today, that will list at least some more links and info’s along with the two service packs, already released yet.
So if SP1 + SP2 for office web apps is installed, the further updates following SP2 may either being deployed via WSUS or security fixes which are usually announced by the MS-Bulletins news letter.
Please use it "as is" since I don’t have enough time to iterate through all the content to list up and keep it current with all released updates in particular.
Hope that helps a bit,
cheers, Steve

Hi Tom,
depending on what the fix contains, not all files/DLLs will be patched/updated. If you check the Microsoft.sharepoint.dll file version, this reflects the most recent update status. For language packs, usually also service packs will be served and needs to
be installed inline with the SharePoint patch level. So if you have SharePoint SP1+ AND LP Sp1 applied as well, still not all files would show up the same version, so this wouldn’t be a mistake. finally the CU in general are commonly "global" means they are
not language specific and will patch the installed language files too. All related information on language packs can be found here:
blogs.technet.com/…/3293169.aspx
Hope that helps and answers your Q.

indicated I could install June 2013 CU on top of RTM, and then Service Pack 2, but I’m getting a messaging indicating "The expected version of the product was not found on the system" the only successfully way I have been able to accomplish this is via the
way you mentioned above?

Hi Adam,
many thanks for your commitment to my blog and your comments. Well yes it is not necessary anymoer to install both parts of the pacakges (foundation + server) but it still becomes important on certain scenarios and combinations and may casue unexoected issues if you dont do so.
For short: yes, it is sufficient just to install the Server CU or Project packages as they contain all required bits. But it is just an extra mile but not a problem when you still follow my recommendations.
Its just for future cases and for consistency at all to be on the secure side. However, as written above, its just my personal view and also have been stated so on the sustained engineering blog whch are the folks that creates the fixes 😉
anyway, thnx, cheers and greetz, Steve

@Reinhard and Reinhardl:
so it seems that although we have on the KB’s 2825786 and 2825824 that this is build 14.0.7110.5000, the Microsoft.sharepoint.dll and Microsoft.sharepoint.portal.dll are of Version 14.0.7108.5000
– thats correct and also shown in central admin – manage Servers in farm.
The build Version 14.0.7110.5000 is pulled from the Microsoft.sharepoint.search.dll and is then highest build in the oct. 2013 package, thats why its confusing with the given build number from the KBs.
It’s all ok but just missleaded statement in the KBs

OWA never was part of any CU for SharePoint. It is an independent update stream. You may find more info on most recent updates above in the "Office Web App Section". Since there is no frequency like the CU’s it is more like a "hotfix" being released via KBs.
I was working on a similar sheet but haven’t found the time yet to maintain it.

A recent question to my sheet:
Q: On this post and several other sites I see the build numbers 14.0.4762.1000 and 14.0.5123.5000 listed but no 14.0.5123.5002 listed.
Is there a reason 14.0.5123.5002 isnt listed in your article?
A: This fix (14.0.5123.5002) is a single hotfix for a specific issue (support.microsoft.com/…/2398734) and is included in the October CU!
On my sheet, there is only listed the each cumulative update or so called “Uber-Packages” which are containing all fixes provided
in-between the regular CU frequency.
When you install the cumulative package, you’ll have included all single fixes, newly released since last prior CU.
So in your case, if you install the Oct. CU, the mentioned fix is included.
Hope that answers your Question 😉

Hi Cherina,
I'm assuming you mean with "OWA" NOT the 'Outlook Web Access' but 'Office Web App', right?
Well, there is no direct mapping to CU's. Only at Service Pack Level, the updates should be aligned. The 'Office Web App' updates are released separate and in my post above you'll find all Web App updates published so far. if ther eis a new one, I'll add it here, else you can also simply search for updates on search.microsoft.com/…/search.aspx
Hope that asnwers your Question 😉

Are you sure, that your last CU was properly installed? Since you have installed the Aug 11 CU with 14.0.6109.5002, the error might come from a check against the updated Version of the aug. 11 CU with 14.0.6109.5005. This was a fixed Versions as it might had a Regression in the 5002 build and hence, the update probably check for the increment and may prevent you here from installing any higfher bits. Please try and get the fresh Aug.11 Cu on 5005 Build and install it on top, this should help to get the next higher CU's after. If this still does not work, then you maybe have another issue and this needs to be investigated within a MS Service request.
