SP2013 CUs and SPs

2014-07-16 Thread Paul Noone
Hi all, Am I correct in assuming that these still need to be manually downloaded and installed? I'm getting ready to patch some servers which are up-to-date with Windows Updates and have all current Update for Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 patches applied, but still show RTM

Paul, YES - AFAIK, and regardless of the binary patches you install - the version in your database will not be updated until you run the PT wizard on the servers which then upgrades the database to match. Cheers, J. James Boman ■

Thanks James. That was my understanding too. I had run the wizard after the last round of Windows Updates but these patches all had RTM version, which is what led me to download and install SP1 manually. Only took half an hour and no restart required. Most surprised! Regards, Paul From:

You are lucky - I have seen SP1 and later CU's take 6 hours to install and another 3 hours on the PT wizard. It does depend to some extent on how much content needs to be upgraded, and if you have search deployed. J. James Boman ■ Office: +61 (08) 7200

Not lucky. I use a little PS script that kills certain services and pauses the SSA. Original version here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2013/04/01/why-sharepoint-2013-cumulative-update-takes-5-hours-to-install.aspx From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On

Show document's SharePoint title in search results

Has anyone had success with getting search to honour a document's SharePoint title, as opposed to the dodgy choice it interprets through full text scanning? From MSDN blog:
