Database Updates

Once you have installed the SfB\Lync updates, for each server role you upgraded, you need to install database updates. This is taken care of using the following command, where <Server FQDN> = Std Edition Server/Enterprise Edition Pool SQL Backend/SQL Monitoring Backend/SQL Archiving Backend/PChat Server or SQL Backend/. Some roles may be co-located, and thats OK.

  4. Hi,
    Are the windows client updates cumulative? Will the last update be enough, or do we need to install all the previous updates?

  5. May 2017 CU for Skype for Business 2015…. Does anyone know if this has been pulled? The MS link tells me it is no longer available

  6. Hi Andrew,
    I am looking for March 2017 CU update for lync server 2013 .By any chance you have any link from where it could be downloaded.
    Thanks
    Harshal

    Fixes:

  8. You have incorrect information for SfB Server 2015 Cumulative Updates in the first table on this page. The latest CU for SfB Server is CU7, and you list CU11. Perhaps you’ve mixed up the client and server updates, but the first table on this page are not server updates as the table header indicates. This is the accurate list of SfB Server 2015 updates: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/uclobby/2015/06/22/skype-for-business-2015-cumulative-update-list/
