Know Your Updates
Several people have encountered the problem of confusing cummulative updates(Infrastructure Update KB951297) where we update all of MOSS and the Oct and Dec patches where we update only certain components.
For clarity in a Cummulative Update we update the following components:
coreserver.msp - Core MOSS
dlc.msp - Workflow
ifswfe.msp - Form Server
pjsrvapp.msp - Project Server
pjsrvwfe.msp - Project Server WFE
However, in the months of October, November and December of 2008 we did not release a cummulative update. We released seperate packages that included coreserver.msp (KB957693), dlc.msp (KB958569) and Ifswfe.msp (KB957694).
So when you apply updates make sure you recognize the difference between a Cummulative update and a monthly update where we have a seperate package for each component as described above. Furthermore, when you apply some of these patches we did not document that psconfig would need to be run. This is specifically the case with KB957694.
