SharePoint 2010 Build Numbers Archive up to SP2

This is the archived part of my current Post “SharePoint 2010 Build Numbers (Cube Sheet)” to keep the main view short and focused on the most recent information and important updates 😉

Here you’ll find a table with all released Builds since SharePoint 2010 went RTM up to latest Service Pack!

Important Notes!

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 the Oct. 2010 CU a regression was detected but the problem is fixed and the packages are republished now as build 14.0.5128.5003
In the Dec. 2010 CU, a regression was found. “You cannot create an AD DS synchronization connection … after Dec.CU 2010 installed…(KB 2490381)“
August 2012 CU for SharePoint 2010 and any later will only install on a server/farm which has SP1 installed. See here for the Latest SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 information!
If you also have Project Server 2010 in your farm, please get the full server package for project server from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/projectserver/gg176680
August 2011 CU is a post SP1 Hotfix! SP1 is mandatoryto install any other CU released later than June 2011 !!!
See also the post here August 2012 CU for SharePoint 2010 and later will only install on a server/farm which has SP1 installed!
)x = Although the marked CU’s are not explicitly stating SP1 as a pre-requirement, we highly recommend to have SP1 installed first and then the CU’s to stay aligned in consistency with the patch history! -> see also: SP1 and June 2011 CU

As usual, the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard or “psconfig –cmd upgrade –inplace b2b -wait” should be executed on every server in the farm following the update installation.

The Build number shown in your central admin -> servers in farm’s site is the version that comes from the configuration database (table dbo.versions).

Dependency between SP1 and June 11 CU!!
It is not a recommendation or advice, it is a must, as it is clearly specified on the SP1 KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2460045

Known issue:
After you install SharePoint Foundation 2010 SP1 or SharePoint Server 2010 SP1, you must also install the corresponding June 2011 Cumulative Update refresh
package. For more information about these updates, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

2536601 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2536601/)
Description of the SharePoint Foundation 2010 cumulative update package (SharePoint Foundation server-package): June 30, 2011

2536599 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2536599/)
Description of the SharePoint Server 2010 cumulative update package (SharePoint server-package): June 30, 2011

June 11 CU – New FIM bits implemented!
With the June 2011 CU package, there is also a new FIM release (ForeFront Identitiy Manager aka “missclient.exe”) published.
Where before, the FIM showed up with version 4.0.2450.11, you’ll after installing June 2011 CU notice, that it will come up now in version 4.0.2450.34 yet.

Ee721049.note(en-us,office.14).gif Note for SP1:
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) provides the latest updates for SharePoint Server 2010.
This service pack includes two main categories of fixes:

Previously unreleased fixes that were made specifically for this service pack. In addition to general product fixes, these fixes include improvements in stability, performance, and in security.
All the public updates that were released through June 2011, and all the cumulative updates that were released through April 2011.

Technical Details: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2532120
Known issues when you install SP1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2532126

For clarification:

If you are currently on any Build prior or equal April 2011 CU, please perform the update as follows:

Install the SP1 packages for SharePoint Foundationon all Servers in Farm
Install the according Language packs (if applicable) on all Servers in Farm
Install the SP1 packages for SharePoint Serveron all Servers in Farm
Install the according Language packs (if applicable) on all Servers in Farm for each language installed!
Install the Office Web Apps SP1(if applicable)
Install the SharePoint Foundation June 2011 CUon top on on all Servers in Farm
Install the according Language packs (if applicable) on all Servers in Farm for each language installed!
Install the SharePoint Server June 2011 CUon top on on all Servers in Farm
Install the according Language packs (if applicable) on all Servers in Farm for each language installed!
The SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard or “psconfig –cmd upgrade –inplace b2b -wait” should be run once on every server in the farm following the final update installed.

Q: Is it true that installing only the server packages would be sufficient as they contain the foundation packages anyway?
A: We recommend installing the SharePoint Foundation 2010 packages followed by the SharePoint Server 2010 packages to ensure all binaries are properly updated as a best practice; however, Server packages will include the Foundation package so they could be installed independently. The June CU does not include all of the files included in Service Pack 1 so should be installed following Service Pack 1. In order to ensure everything is up to date, you will need to install both packages.

Ee721049.note(en-us,office.14).gif Note for SP2 2013 and June 2013 CU:
The recently published June 2013 CU for SharePoint and Foundation is NOT INCLUDED into the SP2!
if you have already installed the June 2013 CU (on top of SP1) on your SharePoint servers, SP2 should be installed on top to stay aligned with the patch level chain. You must install SP1 Prior to SP2 to apply the June 2013 CU as it will not install on top of SP2! Else, you can wait for the Agust 2013 CU to be installed on top of SP2 which then have June 203 CU included.

Best recommended Install order:

1. If not yet done, Install SP1 + June 2011 CU
2. Then install June 2013 CU
3. Now you can install SP2 + any later released CU.

Note: Due to required changes to the Prerequisite Installer, Service Pack 2 cannot be slipstreamed into installation media for use with installation on Windows Server 2012 systems. Installation of SharePoint Server 2010 with Service Pack 2 on Windows Server 2012 systems requires an integrated Service Pack 2 installation media due following the patch release.

FAQ’s: <updated: 2013-07-31>

Q: with the SharePoint 2010 June 2013 CU (KB2817527), and now the August 2013 CU (KB2817570), the server package includes a CAB file (ubersrv_1.CAB) in addition to the executable. Curious about the logic behind this change …
A: Its because we are reaching a physical file size limit of 2GB. So it had to be split.

Q: Is this a “Post-SP2 hotfix”? – What’s the relationship between SP2 and August 2013 CU?
A: June and August CU are both Post SP1/SP2 CUs. You can install August CU in SP1 or SP2. But we highly recommend to stay inline with the chronological patch history to stay consistent.

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

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.

I personally recommend that you always install SharePoint Foundation 2010 patches before installing SharePoint Server 2010 patches. This best practice ensures that you will always be successful when installing updates and keeps you on the save side.

Install Order:
– start with the Foundation update,
– then run the Psconfig wizard
– reboot if prompted
– install now the server packages
– then run the Psconfig wizard again
– reboot once more if prompted
– check for errors on logs!
– check on Central admin page -> Upgrade and Migration -> Upgrade status / product and patch installation status

repeat this for each server in farm.

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.
