Problem description:
=================
The data in SpUsageWeb.aspx don’t match the data in the UsageDetails.aspx page.

Plan:
==================
The issue is fixed in the April’s Service Pack, which is going to be released. We are now testing the Service Pack and will update you once we finish the test.
If no exception, I will send you the Service Pack early next week. Then you can try and see if the issue can be fixed by the Service Pack.

Additional information:
==================
The _layouts/usagedetails.aspx page is still available in SharePoint 2007, although there is no link to it in the site settings page.
If the Site Usage Report works properly, the data in the usagedetails.aspx should match the data in the SpUsageWeb.aspx.

Finally MOSS and WSS June CU is available

woo..finally the MOSS and WSS June CU is available, but this is not included the bugfix on the SP2(trial issues)

ok ok, here is the blog just updated few hour ago : here

I am so rush for this because customer hope to patch some project server 2007 bug, if you are not get complain on this i think you can plan slowly ...ha ha..or maybe go for august CU ?

this update blog step more simple then the previous one, have uber or global or what...now only have 2 package ..and few simple step listed at the blog. :)

will going to try on my sandbox soon :) enjoy!!

MOSS and WSS June CU !!

wah!!! are you done your sharepoint April CU?? not yet? but now the June CU is release again!!
MS release so fast!! ha ha.. so what is your next step? skip April CU ?

June CU is included April CU , so do you think we need to apply April CU ? :)

So below is the suggested from Microsoft of the installation sequence:

• Install SP2 for WSS and MOSS
  
• Install the MOSS Trial hotfix --> this is to fix the SP2 bug
  
• Install the uber package for WSS
• Install MOSS fixes on demand or wait for the uber package for MOSS because that is not yet available due to Microsoft Project 2007 dependencies. We expect that the MOSS uber package also contain the trial fix.

The recommendation is from : MOSS and WSS June CU

MOSS SP2 VS Cumulative Updates for April 2009

After the Project server owner tested on MOSS SP2 and find out a lot bug is not fix by SP2 then only will fix by the April CU.

So i will start study on what is April CU?? After search on internet then get some information from Office Sustained Engineering blog .

"If you do not use Cumulative Updates, this blog will probably not be interesting to you. If you are only using SP2, please refer to the following blog post for more details."

Some FAQ is listed at the blog, so i will share some interesting FAQ to all about the CU.

4. What should we install to get the latest updates for all Office products?
For our general customer base, we recommend installing SP2. If you have needed updates in the April CU, we recommend installing both SP2 and the April CU.
--> yeah , i need it for my Project server

9. Will server-packages be released for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) in the April CU? How different will they be from SP2?
Yes, the Microsoft Office Sustained Engineering team began the trend of releasing consolidated packages for server products due to a high volume of customer requests for this type of package. This was first done in the December CU.

In the April CU too, there are 2 cumulative server-packages:
(1) WSS server-package - that contains updates for WSS
(2) MOSS server-package - that contains updates for ECM, Project Server, Search, Excel Services, InfoPath Server and MOSS

The server-packages include all hotfixes for server products that the Microsoft Office Sustained Engineering team has ever released. However, there are files updated in the service pack that have never been updated in a hotfix. In order to get all the latest updates, you need to install SP2 and the April CU server-packages.
