Blast from the Past: Service Packs–SPS 2003
I recently did a bit of work on one of our legacy clients. The environment still runs SharePoint Portal Services 2003 and it was pretty interesting getting stuck into the now “old school” Central Administration and so forth. As I was having trouble restoring an old portal I turned to trying to validate what the service pack for the environment & machines were.
I used the following resources to get some answers:
Stuart’s Tech Punch – http://techpunch.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/sharepoint-portal-services-team-services-determine-service-pack-version/
Microsoft Description of Service Pack 3 – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923644
Complete list of Service Packs (2010, 2007, 2003 and 2001) – http://www.sharepointdesignerstepbystep.com/blog/SitePages/SharePoint%20versions.aspx (Great Resource)
The client should be going through an upgrade at some point, so here is hoping we get the work and move them onto the new hotness soon soon.
Have a great holiday everybody. See you early in January.
