You may get some responses on this thread, or go ahead and post a new thread. There is bound to be someone qualified in SharePoint admin perusing this site that can and will provide some solid guidance.</description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:24:45 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>opc.three</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Latest service pack - how to be alerted</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1354161-1550-1.aspx</link><description>Also... since you did advise on installing, would you have any tips for applying a service pack to a production server running SharePoint?  We are a small shop with no sandbox running SharePoint 2010 in this instance.</description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:20:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SQLmountain</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Latest service pack - how to be alerted</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1354161-1550-1.aspx</link><description>Thanks! Both those names look familiar. I've been away from the forums/blogs for a while, and just getting to the point where I want to take my DBA skills to the next level.</description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:13:11 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SQLmountain</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Latest service pack - how to be alerted</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1354161-1550-1.aspx</link><description>I setup a recurring Outlook Task to remind me to check for new versions every two weeks. I will typically plan to roll out relevant updates to a Dev server first, then bring them through the environments until they make it to Prod.You can also subscribe to [u][url=http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2012/08/30/sql-server-2012-cumulative-update-3-is-available.aspx]Aaron Bertrand[/url][/u]'s or [u][url=http://sqlserverperformance.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/sql-server-2012-rtm-cumulative-update-3/]Glenn Berry[/url][/u]'s newsletters.
