SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU 7 and RTM CU10 Released

This week we released cumulative updates for both RTM (RTM based CU 10) and SP1 (SP1 based CU 7) of SQL Server 2008.

· Build 2766: Cumulative update package 7 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 https://support.microsoft.com/kb/979065/en-us

· Build 1835: Cumulative update package 10 for SQL Server 2008 https://support.microsoft.com/kb/979064/en-us

 

Since support for SQL Server 2008 RTM ends 4/13/2010 you should make sure you are on at least SP1 of SQL Server 2008 ASAP.

 

Remember that you can slipstream SP1 and SP1 based CUs into your initial RTM setup files for new installs. You can find an example here: https://blogs.msdn.com/cindygross/archive/2010/01/21/how-to-slipstream-sp1-based-cu5-into-sql-server-2008.aspx
