SUMMARY

Cumulative update packages for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 contain hotfixes for the issues that were fixed since the release of SharePoint Server 2010.

Note This is build 14.0.6123.5002 of the cumulative update package.

We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and security updates that were included in the previous SharePoint Server 2010 update package releases.

Important notes about the cumulative update package

Microsoft Office 2010 hotfixes are now multilingual. This cumulative update package contains updates for all languages.
This cumulative update package includes all the server component packages. Additionally, this cumulative update package updates only those components that are installed on the system.

Known issue 1

After you install this hotfix, you must restart the User Profile Synchronization service for profile synchronization to function correctly.

Workaround

To work around this issue, follow these steps:

Visit the Central Administration page.
In the System Settings section, click Manage Services.
In the list of services that is displayed, find the User Profile Synchronization service, and then click Stop if its status is Started. Then, click Start, and provide the credentials to start the User Profile Synchronization service as soon as its status is Stopped.

For more information about how to start the service, see the "Start the User Profile Synchronization service" section of the following Microsoft TechNet website:

(http://technet.microsoft.com/library/ee721049(office.14))

Known issue 2

After you install the cumulative update package, you must run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard (PSConfigUI.exe). This wizard upgrades and updates the farm to the latest version. This step is required in order to guarantee that you have full SharePoint functionality. The farm will still function if you do not run PSConfigUI.exe, but the farm will have reduced functionality. For example, the search function will not index content.
