Hello friends,
What would be the correct way to install SP2 for SharePoint 2010 Server. So far, I’ve come up with the following:
1. Install SP2 for SharePoint Server 2010: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39672
2. Install SP2 for language packs that you might have for SharePoint 2010: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687450
3. Install SP2 for Office Web Apps/Project Server/Search Server etc.
My main question, is it still mandatory to install SP2 for Foundation first and then install SP2 for SharePoint Server?
I know they changed the bits for Cumulative Updates, but I can’t find information about this on Service Pack 2.
Share the knowledge!
As a best practice, it is recommend installing SharePoint Foundation 2010 packages followed by the SharePoint Server 2010 packages to ensure all binaries are properly updated, This minimizes risks. But having said that, server packages will include the foundation package, so they could be installed independently.
