How to install a service pack or a software update

Important When you run the command to disable the Forefront Security services from SharePoint in the following steps, Forefront Security for SharePoint will no longer use enhanced virus protection to scan for viruses.

To install a service pack or a software update, follow these steps.

1. Create a full system backup for each SharePoint Application server and Web Front End server. If it is required, we recommend that you contact the SharePoint Support team for more information.
2. Perform an SQL backup for all SharePoint databases in the SQL cluster. If it is required, we recommend that you contact the SharePoint Support team for more information.
3. Steps 3a through 3f are only required if you install a service pack or a software update that directly affects the SharePoint antivirus functionality:
