We don’t really have a dedicated SharePoint Administrator so we’re trying to figure out how often we should be applying SharePoint patches or cumulative updates to our farm.
In your opinion, is it better to:
- Apply them right away whenever they come out
- Wait until a couple come out and then apply them on a -2 schedule
- Wait until a service pack comes out and apply them all at once
- Only apply a patch if it fixes a specific issue that you are experiencing or a potential security threat
- If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – don’t do anything until you upgrade to SharePoint vNext

Security patches have caused issues in the past. For example, the March security patch for SharePoint 2010 introduced the blob cache error we started seeing with the Feb 2013 CU.
