Hi all,
it appears that no one took care of installing Service Packs for our SQL Servers from WSUS and now i have to do it. What i have:
MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
MS SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1,2,3
MS SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1,2
As you could see some of them a really old.
1. The fact that everything is running so far without any problems and complains bring the question: Do I have to install Service Packs?
2. Is it ok if I go directly to the latest Service Pack for each Server or i have to go the "entire road" installing one after another.
3. What is the best way to do the updates: Install all other security and critical updates, restart the server, then install the service pack and restart again the server.
Actually my knowledge for SQL Server and Updates for it are not so big that's why i want to apologies for the stupid questions. Thanks in advance
