  1. Hello,

    Is it ok if we directly install the March 2024 CU for SP 2016 or do we have to install Dec 2023 both language and security patch,
    Currently we have 16.0.4351.1000 language pack and 16.0.5369.1000 security patch installed.

  2. Hi Suhail,
    if the December 2023 language dependent fix (KB 5002524) has not been installed you need to install it together with March 2024 CU for SP2016 where only the language dependent fixes have received an update.
    Cheers,
    Stefan

  3. Hi Stefan,

    What is the latest OOS updates available to install along with March update for SharePoint 2019.

    Also, we are currently on September 2023 patch level. Is it ok to install kb5002562(March language independent) and kb5002532(December language dependent) to get all servers on latest patch level?

    Thank You!

      1. Thanks a lot, Stefan. We have September 2023 (KB5002470) OOS update installed in our OOS servers. In this case, we can then skip any upgrades to OOS server this time. Thanks again for your response.
