As is normally prescribed, a Cumulative Update (CU) is a large hotfix that pulls together all previously released hotfixes into a single distribution. When customers need to apply the latest fixes, they only need the very latest CU. Per Microsoft’s ConfigMgr servicing strategy, CU's release once every quarter.
CU3 for ConfigMgr 2012 R2 has now released and provides additional fixes, some changes, and some new features that you should be aware of. So, in addition to providing that single, cumulative hotfix distribution, there are other reasons why you might want to decide to install CU3.
Here’s what’s fixed and new…
