So it's patching time this weekend again, and I am spending time waiting for reboot to finish between service pack installation, before I can start the cumulative update installation. So I thought I will ask this question:
I know that you can slipstream Service packs and Cumulative updates during the initial install. But is there a way to slipstream a CU with a SP install, independent of the RTM ?
Example:
I need to patch my SQL Server 2008 to SP3 and also apply CU9. Is there a way to achieve this patching using slipstream in one step?
Current.ly my process is
<> Install SP3. Reboot.
<> Install Cu9. Reboot.
Can I do SP3+CU9 and reboot just once? I am guessing not. But doesn't heart to ask, right?
Thanks,
