To install a software update

          Log into the server with SharePoint Central Administration V3 identity

          Disconnect users from the server farm by stopping the World Wide Web Publishing service (w3svc) on all Web servers.

          Download and install the appropriate Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 software update for all servers in your server farm.

Important: At the end of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 software update, do not run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard.

          Download and install the appropriate Office SharePoint Server 2007 software update for all servers in your server farm.

          At the end of the software update installation, the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard starts.

Note: If the wizard does not start automatically, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard.

          On the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard Welcome page, click Next.

          In the dialog box that notifies you that some services might need to be restarted during configuration, click Yes.

          On the Completing the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard page, click Next.

          When the dialog box about installation in a server farm appears, do not click OK. Instead, leave each server with the following dialog box displayed:

"You must run Setup to install new binary files for every server in your server farm. If you have multiple servers in your server farm, run Setup and the configuration wizard on the other servers now, and then return to this server and click OK to continue."

          When the dialog box from the previous step is displayed on all the application servers and Web servers in the server farm, use one Web server that hosts the Central Administration Web site to finalize the installation.

Note: We recommend that you install the software update on an application server that is hosting the Central Administration Web site, then the other application servers, and finally the front-end Web servers.

If you are hosting your Central Administration Web site on a front-end Web server, then we recommend that you install the software update on the front-end Web server hosting the Central Administration Web site, then the application servers, and finally the remaining front-end Web servers.

          On the server you selected in the previous step, click OK.

          On the Configuration Successful page, click Finish.

          After you have finished updating one Web server that hosts the Central Administration Web site, you should follow the procedures in the "Verify installation" section on this one Web server to ensure that the software update installation was successful.

          Continue updating the remaining computers in the server farm, one at a time, by clicking OK in the dialog box.

Note: It is important that the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard perform the configuration procedures on only one computer at a time.

When the software update installation and configuration is complete on all the Web servers in the server farm, make the Web servers available to users by manually starting the World Wide Web Publishing service on each server on which you manually stopped the service.

     Verify the server install by running the following command against the config database:

SELECT * FROM Versions

OPTIONAL: Force an upgrade by running one of the following commands if you encounter problems

a.           psconfig –cmd upgrade –inplace b2b –wait –force

b.           psconfig -cmd configdb -connect -server <SQLServerName> -database SharePoint_Config_<dbname> -user <domainusername> -password <password> -cmd helpcollections -installall -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd applicationcontent –install
