Installing SharePoint Server 2010 Cumulative Update

  • Download the appropriate hotfixes for SharePoint Server 2010 Click here to download the CU
  • Log into each SharePoint server using the same account that you used to initially install SharePoint. This account should have dbcreator and securityadminrights on the SQL server that is part of your SharePoint farm.
  • On one of the servers, open up Central Administration > Upgrade and Migration > Check product and patch installation status and take notice of the current build version 14.0.4763.1000
  • On each web front end server, open up Services.msc and stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service to prevent users from getting into SharePoint during the upgrade
  • Install the five hotfixes on each SharePoint server in the farm. Start with the SharePoint Foundation hotfix, then the remaining SharePoint Server hotfixes. On the KB983497 install, you might get a screen to stop some services before continuing. Some of the hotfixes may also require a reboot. Perform the reboot before moving forward in installing the next hotfix.
  • Once all the installers have been completed, go back to the server that hosts Central Administration and run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard
    • Start > All Programs > Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products > SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard
  • Click Next
