  • Article

Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Microsoft Project Standard 2010, Microsoft Project Professional 2010 and Microsoft Project Server 2010 has been released to the Microsoft Download Center. SP1 contains a number of products updates based on customer feedback, as described in this announcement last May:  Announcing Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Project & Project Server 2010.

Before you install SP1 it is essential that you understand its content described in the links below, and thoroughly read the guidance documented on TechNet and test out SP1 in a separate environment prior to a production rollout.

The following TechNet article provides information on how to deploy Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010 SP1: Deploy Service Pack 1 for Project Server 2010 .

We strongly recommend that you deploy the June 2011 Cumulative Update for Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010 when you install SP1. You can download the June 2011 Cumulative Update from the KB Articles from the links below:

    Hi, i am assuming that you recommend for SP1 to be installed first and then the June 2011 CU? Thanks

    Is there any SP1 related update for MS Project Professional 2007 running with Project Server 2010 in BCM mode? Do those cusotmers running BCM mode only need to deploy Project Server SP1 + June 2011 CU? Thanks Faisal Masood http://www.epmadmin.com

    Faisal please deploy Project Server SP1 (and preferably June 2011 CU) + June 2011 CU (2007 client – not essential).  In BCM mode you will not get all of the feature updates of SP1. Please note that BCM is meant to be temporary until all desktop are upgraded to Project Professional 2010.

    What if we do not install Jun CU at all, but just SP1?

  • What issues will be left unresolved? any system instability or what? V.

    Vytautas the system will run fine with SP1 only but since there are a number of important fixes in the June CU and since you will take downtime testing SP1 and deploying it we recommend doing it all at once to have the latest and greatest!
