This page provides information on Lync and Skype for Business updates for client and server, with links to the relevant KB article.
Historic Updates
Microsoft does not keep all historic updates on their servers, usually only the latest one will be available. If you require an historic update please check if it is available here.
Skype for Business / Lync Server Updates
To determine your current update level run the latest cumulative update installer which will display the currently installed version:
The following PowerShell commands may also be used:
Skype for Business
1 |
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | ?{$_.DisplayName -like “*Skype for Business*”} | Sort-Object DisplayName | Select DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Format-Table -AutoSize |
1 |
Get-WmiObject -query ‘select name, version from win32_product’ | where {$_.name -like “*Skype for Business*”} | Sort-Object Name | Select Name, Version | ft -AutoSize |
As of the November 2015 Cumulative Update (6.0.9319.102) you can simply run:
1 |
Get-CsServerPatchVersion | ft -AutoSize |
Lync
1 |
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | ?{$_.DisplayName -like “*Lync Server*”} | Sort-Object DisplayName | Select DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Format-Table -AutoSize |
1 |
Get-WmiObject -query ‘select name, version from win32_product’ | where {$_.name -like “*Lync Server*”} | Sort-Object Name | Select Name, Version | ft -AutoSize |
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.

Cheers to UC Lobby for helping me get this started!
to Check the version i use at the Lync Shell:
Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from win32_product' | where {$_.name -like "Microsoft Lync Server*"} | Select Name, Version |ft -AutoSize
Hey Diego, thanks for the feedback! For some reason on my testing server win32_product doesn't exist. I get the following:

[…] UP TO DATE! Make sure your existing servers are up to date up-front. I use Andrew Morpeth’s blog to check for updates. Make sure the OS is up to date as […]

And another typo: 4.0.7577.4521 | Oct, 2017 instead of Oct, 2016
Thanks!
Hi,
Are the windows client updates cumulative? Will the last update be enough, or do we need to install all the previous updates?
Generally its best to check the release notes because there are almost always some pre-req’s; usually Office updates.
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
Hi, we are seeing the same but haven’t had a response from Microsoft. Soon as I hear I will let you know.
And its alive again 🙂
You beat me to it 🙂 Still unsure what happened there! Thanks for letting us know.
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

Thanks David, missed that one! I’ll update.
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/
