SharePoint Recalls SP1
April 28, 2014
After a much anticipated and delayed release of SharePoint’s Service Pack 1, it was unexpectedly recalled after only a few weeks. InfoWorld covers the news in their article, “Microsoft yanks SharePoint 2013 Service Pack 1, KB 2817429.”
The article begins:
“On Feb. 25, Microsoft announced that SharePoint 2013 Service Pack 1 was available at the Microsoft Download Center. The Office folks repeated the announcement on March 3 at the SharePoint Conference 2014 in Las Vegas. Last Thursday, with no notification that I can discern, Microsoft pulled the Service Pack and removed it from the Download Center.”
The note on the Service Pack 1 download package is noncommittal, only saying that it has been deactivated as a precautionary measure. Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime leader in search and often reports on SharePoint on his information portal, ArnoldIT.com. Stay tuned for additional news on SP1 as it becomes available.
