Hi there,
Am a SharePoint newbie, so please be gentle!
I have sysadmin responsibility for a single-server SP2013 installation. SharePoint 2013 had not been previously updated at all since the RTM install. I downloaded and installed the March 2013 Update Update and, after several days of mucking about with error issues, I believe I have a successful install.
I did a test install of the August 2013 Update and it showed up separately within the Sharepoint Administration pages as a Hotfix.
Q. so should I bother installing the October 2013 Update, or should I even roll back my server image to the March 20130 Update now?
I see that both the August and October cumulative updates are regarded as Hotfixes. I am a little reluctant because I have seen situations in the past where installing hotfixes for products caused problems with later service packs and the hotfix would have to be uninstalled first.
Is this the case with SharePoint 2013 and will I have to uninstall these cumulative updates later? Or will the next proper Cumulative Update consolidate all of those hotfixes when it is released?
Thanks
Steve.
