SharePoint 2010 October Cumulative Updates Re-Released

Microsoft have re-released the SharePoint 2010 October Cumulative Updates after fixing the issues I discussesd in my previous post (http://imperfectit.blogspot.com/2010/11/dont-install-sharepoint-2010-october.html).

You can get the updated bits here:

Don't Install the SharePoint 2010 October Cumulative Update!!!

****Update: December, 2010**** The October update issues have been addressed. See http://imperfectit.blogspot.com/2010/12/sharepoint-2010-october-cumulative.html

Just when we were thinking how it had been ages since a Microsoft update had broken our servers there are widespread reports of the October cumulative update wreaking havoc (User Profile Application in particular). Read the following from the SharePoint Team Blog to learn more:

We recommend installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2266423 followed by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2352342 for now. As always, be sure to apply regular server OS security updates through Windows Update.
