Install Cumulative Update 1 for ConfigMgr 2012 R2

Today I had finally time to install Cumulative Update 1 (CU1) for ConfigMgr 2012 R2. KB2938441 (CU1) solves a lot of issues in ConfigMgr and is therefore highly recommended. More about CU1 another blogpost. No need to install KB2905002 anymore after installation. This because it's integrated in CU1 now.

Let's have a look at the installation:

First screen when running setup

When successful you can continue

5.0.7958.1203 is the new version

New update packages in the console

After setup you have the benefit of all updates and hotfixes. Don't forget to update other ConfigMgr servers, consoles and clients as well. You can find packages for that in the console after the update.

New ConfigMgr 2012 R2 OSD Hotfix available

A few days ago a new ConfigMgr 2012 R2 OSD Hotfix is released. This because many customers couldn't PXE boot anymore. Have a look at these forums for more information about the issue:
Microsoft Technet, Windows Noob & MyITForum

This update resolves the following issues:
Issue 1
After you enable the PXE Service Point role on an instance of a specific distribution point, or you select the Deploy this boot image from the PXE-enabled distribution point property of a boot image, the Windows Deployment Service (WDS) stops running. Additionally, entries that resemble the following are logged in the Windows Application log:

Faulting application name: svchost.exe_WDSServer, version: 6.3.9600.16384, time stamp: 0x5215dfe3
Faulting module name: MSVCR100.dll, version: 10.0.40219.1, time stamp: 0x4d5f034a
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x000000000005f61a
Faulting process id: 0xae4
Faulting application start time: 0x01cec5d767184634
Faulting application path: C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\x64\MSVCR100.dll

Note This problem affects only distribution points that are installed on site servers.

Issue 2
When operating system image files are downloaded to Configuration Manager 2012 R2 clients, you may find that the download takes longer than it did in previous versions of Configuration Manager 2012 clients. You may see this behavior when the target client is running Windows PE or a full Windows operating system.
