In case you missed it, last week Microsoft released something they call the Infrastructure Update for WSS 3.0 & MOSS 2007. This update adds some search features to SharePoint that were introduced in the Search Server products, fixes a lot of performance and scaling issues and content deployment fixes. The whole thing is outlined on the ECM team  blog:

» ECM Blog: Content Deployment & the Infrastructure Update

The Infrastructure Update is not a service pack, but you could almost treat it as one. It includes previous hotfixes, including the ones for content deployment I blogged about previously.

I've seen a few people screw up the install or get confused about it. Here's the deal: make sure you have SP1 installed for both WSS 3.0 & MOSS 2007 (links to it here). Then install the WSS 3.0 Infrastructure Update, run the SharePoint SCA (the configuration wizard you ran when you installed SharePoint... available from the Office Server program group), then install MOSS 2007 Infrastructure Update and run the SCA again. If you've installed hotfixes since SP1, no worries... they are all included in the Infrastructure Update.

I have seen where there is one thing that changed in the SharePoint pipeline and that it has affected [err... broke] some people's code. Dan Larson discusses this in a recent post.

BTW, if you're looking for a single list for where you can see what version of SharePoint cooresponds to a hotfix, or the other in which hotfixes are released, check out Spence's SharePoint 2007 Post SP1 Hotfixes page... a gem for me!

[Update 7/24/2008 @ 11:20a] Spelled out what I meant when I said SCA. Its the SharePoint Configuration Application, or configuration wizard.

Gravatar Minor optimization per Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog if admins wants to save a little time they don't need to run SCA after installing WSS 3.0 infrastructure update on MOSS 2007 installations as per step 4 of highlighted installation instructions http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2008/07/15/announcing-availability-of-infrastructure-updates.aspx

All Comments Are Filtered & Moderated
Unfortunately comment spammers are just too effecient and are constantly dirtying up blogs with irrelivant and unwanted comments trying to improve their standing on search engines. All comments on this blog are moderated. I do not censor comments, but I don't approve comments with vulger language or those soliciting products. Most of the time comments are approved within a few hours of being submitted with the only exception when I'm traveling.

Why are you asking for my email address?
The only reason I'm asking for your email address, which isn't required to submit a comment, is to provide a gravatar if you've created an account for yourself and associated your email address with a small image. If you have a gravatar created for the email address you submit, it will appear next to your comment. Otherwise nothing will appear.

What is a gravatar?
A gravatar is a "globally recognized avatar." You can get more information about gravatars, as well as create your own for free, at www.gravatar.com. You can also view my gravatar here.
