   Thanks Stefan,

   Dec CU (KB 2459257) is stable stable. Tested it on several environments and it's going to production now. Hence 3:54 AM :).

   Stefan,

   Do I still need to install the October CU or are those fixes rolled into the December CU?

   Thanks 🙂

   Hi Dave,

   the word "cumulative" in cumulative update means that a CU contains all earlier CUs.

   So December CU contains October, August, … CU

   Cheers,

   Stefan

   It sounds like there are already several issues that have been identified that are caused by installing the December CU for SharePoint Server.  Should we hold off on it for now?  support.microsoft.com/…/2459257

   Hi Tray,

   where did you get this message from?

   Personally I have not heared about a single problem caused by the December CU – and I should have if customers in Europe would have reported such issues to Microsoft support.

   Cheers,

   Stefan

   Hey Stefan, there are 2 seperate known issues posted on the kb article for the December Cumulative.  This is what makes me hesitant to install it.  See here: support.microsoft.com/…/2459257

   Hi Tray,

   these are issues which were known when the hotfix was released.

   Workarounds for the issues are listed in the KB as well.

   Cheers,

   Stefan

    My web analytics service has stopped working ever since I installed the December CU. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi Stefan,

    I have looked high and low for any hints as to when SP2010 SP1 is being released, and more specifically, does it plan to make any significant changes to My Sites.  This information does not seem to be readily available.  Do you happen to have answers to these two questions?

    Thanks, Clark

    Hi Stefan,

    in the SharePoint 2010 update center I read, as a best practice, to install SPF updates before to install SharePoint Server updates. In your post I read that we can skip the first step. What is the best way to preceed?

    Thank you

    Riccardo

    Hi Riccardo,

    the SharePoint 2010 Server CUs contain the SPF fixes. There is no need to install them separatelly.

    Cheers,

    Stefan

    Hi David,

    December CU has been pulled from the download servers due to a regression. Please use Feburary 2011 CU instead.

    Cheers,

    Stefan

    Ohh :(.. I only just installed December 2010 in production (a few weeks ago now). But now have a requirement to move servers to 32bit so was looking for 64bit release of Decemeber 2010 CU for moss, found the WSS one.

    So you are telling me I have to patch production to january first? (you can send me the dec moss one if you have  it 🙂 )

    Hi David,

    sorry – but I'm not allowed to send out a fix which has been pulled from the hotfix servers.

    Cheers,

    Stefan
