The naming standard for hotfixes has always been that the title of the hot-fix describes the Service Pack level that the fix fixes.

So a fix called

Description of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 hotfix package: XXXX

is a fix that goes on top of the RTM product

and a fix called

Description of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 post Service Pack 1 hotfix package: XXXX

is a fix that goes on top of the WSS 3.0 + SP1 product.

--------------

In this case either the name of these fixes are incorrect or they do not (as you say later) require the Service Packs to be installed.

-------------

There's also another error. There is NO requirement (as you say) of having installed the 2007 Office Servers Service Pack 1 when installing the WSS 3.0 fixes in an installation running WSS 3.0. There all that is required is the WSS 3.0 Service Pack. In fact I doubt if you can install the Office Servers SP1 on a WSS 3.0 installation.

P.S. Shouldn't you "announce" something *before* it is released rather than two days later?

I would in any case have preferred the Subject to more reflect the content - perhaps

"The August Cumulative Update for Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and pre-requisites for it"

What are the best practices about this?

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:34:24 GMT

Until now, the recommendation was not to install hotfixes unless you really need them. What about those cumulative updates? should I install them as part of regular maintenance?

@Mike,

In this post, we mean to provide a suggest path for customers to get everything updated. Of course, you won't need MOSS updates for a WSS installation. And you don't need SP1 to be applied before CU or any other update. The path we talked here is a SUGGESTION or RECOMMENDATION. And, it is different for only a patch bits released vs. all supporting documents like KB and TECHNET articles get ready. We can only ANNOUNCE officially when everything is ready. So that's we we do this announcing instead of a "pre-req" doc.

I hope you can get the point.

In theory, Cumulative Updates should be applied only if you are suffering from the problem it solved. You can get the detail from its description KB article. However, If you can schedule a proper time for the update, it can be a good thing. For example, there's a AAM fix after IU. if you apply this August CU, you won't need to apply that seperately anymore. And it may fix some problems you are not aware of yet. So that depends on you.

I'm new to SharePoint and I find the hotfix situation for SharePoint very confusing, to say the least. Your recommended patch list is a good step towards enlightenment. :)

We have a few farms where we have SharePoint 2007 SP1 + 3 rollups: KB941422 (WSS), KB952698 (WSS), KB952704 (MOSS). Those 3 updates are all requestable hotfixes.

Can I continue updating from point 3 (WSS Infrastructure Update) in your list? I have a hard time figuring out if I still will get the fixes from the three hotfixes mentioned above.

Thanks for any thoughts!
