Overview
This week I installed the latest update for SharePoint called Infrastructure update on few machines.
I tried to understand how to install it by reading the official article from Microsoft “Install the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers” but unfortunately there is lack of information.
Therefore, here are the Installation Steps:
1. Stop the World Wide Web publishing service on the server to disconnect users from the farm.
2. Download and Install the Infrastructure Update for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (KB951695)
at the end of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 update, do not run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard.
3. Download and Install the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers (KB951297)
at the end of the update installation, the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard starts:
a. Click “Next” on the welcome page.
b. In the dialog box that notifies you that some services might need to be restarted during configuration, click “Yes”.
c. On the Completing the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard page, click “Next”.
Improvements in current update:
· New Enterprise Search Features - Federated Search capability, a unified administration dashboard and several Search core platform performance updates.
· Content Deployment Updates
· Usability and performance updates
· Focus on several core platform components - improvements to upgrade, future patching and servicing, workflow, the BDC and farm authentication.
