Recommended hotfixes for Windows Server 2008-based server clusters

INTRODUCTION

This article describes the hotfixes and updates that we recommend that you install on each node of a Windows Server 2008-based failover cluster. When you update your Windows Server 2008-based failover cluster, you help reduce downtime. You also help decrease the number of support issues that you experience.

Note We recommend that you evaluate these hotfixes and updates to determine whether they might resolve problems in your environment. If you determine that cluster nodes in your environment may be affected by the problems that an update or hotfix addresses, install the hotfix or update on each one of the cluster nodes in your environment.

Use the information in the "More information" section to help you determine whether a particular hotfix or update applies to your server cluster. Before you install a particular hotfix or update, we recommend that you review the original Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article that describes that hotfix or update.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
