Service Packs and Updates

Upgrades and Service Packs

Source: //www.digipas.com/files/photos-firmware/software-btn1.png

One of the things that I always check on client servers is that they are running the latest service packs, for both SQL Server and for the Windows OS itself. Now, sometimes I know what the latest service pack is – but other times I don’t. Therefore, I end up spending more time than I would like looking up the latest service pack. Therefore, I’m making a list of service packs here, along with download links (as I find them – navigating Microsoft’s Download Center isn’t exactly a piece of cake). I tried to get the download links for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, where applicable. Hopefully, you can use this chart also.

If you have a link to any that I have missed, please leave me a comment so that I can update this! I’d appreciate your help.
