CU SharePoint y Project Server 2007 y 2010 Febrero 2011

Luego de la publicación de hace dos días del CU de 2007, finalmente tenemos disponibles las versiones para 2010, noticia que me llega a través de Ariel García Sobrino y su referencia al blog The Project Admin Blog, del cual estraigo y transcribo la novedad a continuación:

Great News!  The latest Cumulative Updates (CU) for Project and Project Server 2010 and 2007 have been released.  There was a problem found in both the 2010 Server Rollup Packages which required a fix and for the patches to be rebuilt.  The current guidance is that we should see it released during the week of 3/7/2010.  Feel free to open a support case if you have any questions around this or need assistance getting these patches deployed.

Additionally, you are welcome to join us on TechNet for a webcast where we will be discussing this issues in detail and answering questions regarding the February Cumulative Update.  The information on this webcast can be found at the URL below.

Project and Project Server 2010

This include a number of fixes, so Microsoft strongly recommends that you test this in a test environment based on your production environment before putting this fix live in production.

The article below provides information on how to deploy the Project Server Cumulative Update.

Updates for Project Server 2010

As Project Server 2010 is now based on the MOSS we strongly recommend that you install the Server Rollup Packages as there are a large number of individual server packages for MOSS.  There is a set of two rollup packages which contains all the fixes for SharePoint Foundation Server, MOSS and Project Server.  Both Server Rollup Packages should be installed to ensure that the underlying technology that Project Server depends on is up to date.

For those accustomed to Project Server 2007 Cumulative Updates, you should note that the MOSS Server Rollup Package does not contain the Project Server patches.  You will need to make sure that you install the MOSS + Project Server Rollup Package (the link is provided below).   As in Project Server 2007, the Server Rollup Packages are much larger (~150MB each) but they will greatly simplify your Project Server patch deployment.

You can read about the fixes included in the February CU from the following articles:

As Project Server 2010 is now based on the MOSS we strongly recommend that you install the Project Server 2010 Server Rollup Package as there are a large number of individual server packages for MOSS.  The Project Server 2010 Server Rollup Package contains all the patches released in this Cumulative Update for SharePoint Foundation Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2010 and Project Server 2010.

There was a problem found in the one of the Office Server packages which means that it has to be fixed and rebuilt.  You can download the individual Project Server 2010 Cumulative Update and install it so that you can start testing or have the patched deployed now.  You could then install the Office Server 2010 Server Rollup Package over the individual Project Server package to update all of the SharePoint and other Office Servers files.

You can read about the fixes included in the February CU from the following articles:

Service Pack 2 for both WSS and Office Servers 2007 are required for this Cumulative Update.  The KB articles below provide information on how to download and install SP2 if you have not already done so.

The Server CU is released in two different versions.  The first version is in Individual Packages specific to a particular product like WSS and Project Server.  These are smaller downloads but they do not include language packs or patches for other products so patches for those products would have to be downloaded and installed separately.

The second version is the Server Rollup Packages.  This is a set of two rollup packages which contains all the fixes for WSS, Project Server and MOSS.  These packages should be used when MOSS is part of the deployment and/or you have language packs installed.  The Server Rollup Packages are much larger (~200MB each) but they will greatly simplify MOSS patch deployment.
