Optional update Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583) (Install?)

kcjack

I see an optional update for the SQL server on my whs 2011.

Should I install this or will this possibly break drivepool?

If I install, will it install or will drivepool possibly block the update?

Running version 1.0.0.5974.

Hi KCJACK.

Q: Should I install it?

A: Do you need it?

Q: Will it install or will drivepool possibly block the update?

A: I don't see any reason why DrivePool would block it. It should install just fine.

What's the update's KB number, by the way?

I think I will leave the optional updates alone.[There us this one and one for silverlight. Don't need either one.

DrivePool does not prevent or block the update - it's the update that is buggy because it will always expand it's files on the largest disk - that disk will "always" be DrivePool...

1. From "Server Manager", select "Storage" then "Disk Management"

2. Navigate to the DrivePool disk - in my case it is Disk 8 and assigned letter "W:"

3. Right-click and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"

4. From the popping interface, select "W:" and click "Remove"  and accept the warnings

5. Install the SQL update and once done...

6. Reassign the "W:" to the DrivePool

7. Done !

Simple and easy.
