February 2009 Cumulative Updates for SharePoint available
After much anticipation, the February CU for SharePoint is now available. Yes, I realize it's actually March. You can read the full story at the SharePoint team blog. Long story short, you should install the patches in this order (and don't leave any out)
  1. WSS 3.0 SP1
  2. MOSS 2007 SP1
  3. WSS 3.0 February CU
  4. MOSS 2007 February CU

Notice the Infrastructure update is not in that list. It is included in the CU. The other important thing to take away from this is that you need to install the WSS patches, even if you're running MOSS. Also, don't install these patches unless they address an issue you're experiencing, and if you do install them, do a good backup of your SharePoint boxes and your databases. These patches will bring you up to build 12.0.0.6341.

Enjoy,

Re: February 2009 Cumulative Updates for SharePoint available

Question: When you mention to NOT install the patches unless they address problems we are experiencing, you mean that literally yes?

Install SP1  - Yes
But not the cumulative updates (patches) unless they address a specific problem we are currently experiencing?  (Because the patches are not as thoroughly tested as the Service Packs?)
