Installing Sharepoint Service Pack 2

[HMCTech]

Been trying to find a good guide on what steps need to be taken for installing SP2 on Sharepoint. I have two sharepoint servers and I think I need to install the Sharepoint Services SP2 and then the Office Servers SP2 but I am not sure and then there is some information about a psconfig to go through afterwards but I need to know what do do beforehand if anyone can help!

Alex,

You are correct - you have to install SharePoint Services and then Office Server and then run the configuration tool.

 

1. Install Service Pack 2 for SharePoint Services on Server 1

2. Install Service Pack 2 for Office Server on Server 1

3. Run SharePoint Configuration Server on Server 1

4. Install Service Pack 2 for SharePoint Services on Server 2

5. Install Service Pack 2 for Office Server on Server 2

6. Run SharePoint Configuration Server on Server 2

 

ensure that no one can connect to your sharepoint sites during your patching.

Hi Alex,

 

Thanks I winged it earlier this morning and have verified that both are updated. I did have one strange thing. I ras WSS SP2 on the WFE server first of all and when I went to do Office SP2 it said it had already installed. But on the database server it required both.
