We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine that is running SQL 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3128 Dec 28, 2012
What is the recommended (easiest?) way to apply all the remaining patchs to get up to the latest version?
Thank you

First you should find out what the latest Service Pack is. (I think it's SP3) and then download that and install it. That will bring you to the level associated with the Service Pack. Not everyone needs to get every CU (cumulative update), so that's usually an organizational choice, so if you need those, then you go find the latest CU for that Service Pack level and install it, and then assuming you got the latest SP, and the latest CU, you're as up to date as you can get. Don't forget to test the installation in some kind of test environment...

2012 had some pretty nasty problems over its lifetime. As a result, we keep it up to date on every CU (not something I've done on previous versions). For you, I'd install SP3 and then install the latest CU for SP3.
