December 2013 CU for SharePoint 2013 has been released

Microsoft has released the December 2013 CU for SharePoint 2013.

According to Stefan Gobner, there appears to be two files to download, due to size, as opposed to the single, self-extracting compressed file in the past. There also seems to be a major issue with this CU and the Performance Point Dashboard.

Please read carefully before deploying

ATTENTION:

Previous releases of the SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download. Because of the file size, the SharePoint Server 2013 package has been divided into two separate downloads. One contains the executable file (identified as ubersrv2013kb2850024fullfilex64glb), while the other contains the .CAB file (identified as ubersrv_1). Both are necessary and must be extracted to the same folder to successfully install the update. Both are available by clicking the same Hotfix Download Available link in the KB article for the release.

See the KB article of the SharePoint Server CU for more details.

KNOWN ISSUE:

After installing the SharePoint 2013 Server December 2013 CU PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer no longer loads. When you try to open Dashboard Designer in SharePoint 2013, you receive an error message. You should not install the SharePoint Server 2013 CU listed below if you need PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer.

The KB articles for December CU will be available at the following locations in a couple of days:
  • KB 2849961 - SharePoint Foundation 2013 December 2013 CU
  • KB 2850024 - SharePoint Server 2013 December 2013 CU
  • KB (delayed) - SharePoint Server 2013 with Project Server December 2013 CU
  • KB 2850013 - Office Web Apps Server 2013 December 2013 CU
The Full Server Packages for December 2013 CU are available through the following links:
After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.
Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2013 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation CU. And the SharePoint Server 2013 with Project Server CU contains Project Server CU, SharePoint Server CU and SharePoint Foundation CU.
That means only one package has to be installed for the SharePoint 2013 product family.

See the KB article of the SharePoint Server CU for more details.
