Todd Klindt's SharePoint Admin Blog

Hi Todd,

Every SP farm I've build on RTM shows as 4762, not 4763.  Can you double check your setting?

Thanks,

Hey Randy,
I struggled with that. In RTM the farm build version shows as 4762, but all of the components show as 4763. I'll update my table.

How come you have to waste your time doing this, MS should be doing this for all of us on an easy to use page within the SHarepoint.microsoft.com site

Hi Todd,

Love your work, the book, the netcast ;-)

My single source of truth for SP version numbers has always been the SP Dev Wiki: http://www.sharepointdevwiki.com/display/spadmin2010/SharePoint+2010+Versions?focusedCommentId=26313042&#comment-26313042

(there's a dedicated SP2007 page as well).

Jeremy and co have yet to break down the 2010 versions by component but would you consider porting your list across?

Hey Michhes,
Thanks for buying the book and suffering through the netcasts. You're a real trooper. :)

Hopefully I can usurp Jeremy and company as your goto place for SharePoint build number goodness. :) The information is out there (sort of) so they are welcome to use the information I have in their lists. I'll keep my list up to date, hopefully, too. I don't think it hurts to have it in multiple places, so long as it's all the same. Plus, like many bloggers, my blog serves as notes for me as much as it does for my readers. The reason I created this particular blog post was because I found myself looking for SharePoint build numbers frequently. This way I have one handy, and you guys get to benefit from it too.

For future reference, "Thank you" would have also worked. :)

I don't find this kind of stuff a waste of my time. I agree that it would be nice if Microsoft had it laid out nicely somewhere, but they don't.  That gives guys like you and I a chance to step up and fill in that void. I don't mind at all.

Todd, it turns out that MS just heard your complaint :), check this out

Can I tell by the version number if it is Standard or Enterprise?

You can't tell which version you have by the build number. You can do it in Central Admin though. Click UPgrade and Migration > Convert farm license type (/upgradeandmigration.aspx). That will tell you which license you currently have and allow you to put in a new code.

Hi Todd,

I found this on Microsoft's website under the official documentation for the October CU:

We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous update package.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this means I don't need to also apply the June and August cumulative updates, correct?  I just want to clarify as I believe you suggested putting all CU in the Updates folder.

I found the above information here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2449183

Thanks for the great work
