Service Pack 1 & CU DEC 2014 installation procedure

Hi together!

 

A short question on the update process for SharePoint 2013. Altogether I'm quite aware of the update process and all the pitfalls that come with it. So, we're on March 2013 PU and planning to install Service Pack 1 AND December 2014 CU in one rush. In addition, at least one (German) language pack is installed.

 

Is it correct to install all the binaries on every SharePoint server first (in order SP1, Language Pack (LP) SP1, DEC 2014 CU) and THEN run the Config Wizard sequentially on all servers? Basically, this method should be valid and correct, however, I'm not sure if in case of SP1 a Config Wizard run is neccessary directly after installing SP1 with LP and if that is finished proceed with CU installation.

 

Thanks for your support!

I have done exactly what you describe without an issue.  Having said that I normally do the upgrade to SP1 with LP and then run the Config Wizard.  Then go back and do the CU install and run the wizard again.  As I said, I've done it in one session, but would recommend doing the SP1 first.

I now can confirm, this is working. So just install SP1 and later CU (in this case DEC 2014) binaries in one step and run Config Wizard afterwards. It worked for us and saved time, downtime windows and nerves ;)
