Important: It is required to install both fixes (language dependent and independent) to fully patch a SharePoint server. This applies also to servers which do not have language packs installed. The reason is that each SharePoint installation includes a language dependent component together with a language independent component. If additional language packs are added later (only) the language dependent fix has to be applied again.

It is irrelevant which language you pick on the drop down in download center. Even the language dependent fixes are all in the same package for all languages.

After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm. If you prefer to run the command line version psconfig.exe ensure to have a look here for the correct options.

Please ensure to have a look at the SharePoint Patching Best Practices before applying new fixes.

  1. I got an issue when running the config wizard:

    The update got stuck for ages in step 9 of 10 – The farm is being upgraded in the timer service process. The task is 10.00% completed.

    Task Manager shows 0% CPU usage for the upgrade process.

    Is this a known issue? Has anybody else made the same experience?

  3. Hi Stefan, if I’ve enabled SxS for ZDP patching and my SxS token (16.0.15601.20478) is different from my Farm Build token (16.0.15601.20474), which value should I use?
