If you have a MSDN subscription then after the release of Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio Premium 2013 and Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 would be clubbed into one single offering called Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN.

Visual Studio Professional 2013 with MSDN would be upgraded to Visual Studio Professional 2015 with MSDN and Visual Studio Community edition 2013 will be upgraded to Visual Studio Community edition 2015.

Visual Studio Community edition and Visual Studio Professional with MSDN, our new Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN would be 3 primary Visual Studio 2015 offerings.

Looking forward for new and exiting feature in Visual Studio 2015, specially Visual Studio 2015 community edition(free)

Microsoft has released another SharePoint 2013 Cumulative Update in February 2015. Let me help you know how we can install  February 2015 on SharePoint 2013 server.

Its per-requisites is either SharePoint 2013 SP1 or SharePoint 2013 March PU.

Now the most important part is how to install SharePoint server February 2014 Cumulative Update.

Previous releases of the SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download. Because of the file size, the SharePoint Server 2013 package has been divided into several separate downloads. One contains the executable file, while the others contain the CAB file. All are necessary and must be placed in the same folder to successfully install the update. All are available by clicking the same Hotfix Download Available link in the KB article for the release.

Here is link for all the updates:

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 has only 1 setup file ubersts2013-kb2920801-fullfile-x64-glb.exe

Now here the twist starts, SharePoint 2013 update has 3 setup files ubersrv_1.cab, ubersrv_2.cab, ubersrv2013-kb2920804-fullfile-x64-glb.exe. You can download this from:

It is a great moment for SQLServerGeeks.com as this event would be one of the biggest event by SQLServerGeeks.

I also got to know that SQLServerGeeks Annual Summit 2015 is not just the largest but the only SQL Server conference in Asia apart from Microsoft conference.

Looking at the populatry o the event first thing you must do is Register for the event.

Looking at the cost of registration I assume we are only playing for the Lunch and snacks where as the SQL Server learning is completely free 🙂

Little bit about the conference and its tracks. There are 40+ speakers, 60+ sessions for all this 5 tracks with a awesome learning experience.  Session would be related to

Database Administration
Database Development Business Intelligence
Cloud
Big Data and so on…..

The sessions scale out on knowledge level from 200 through 500 from the SQL experts around the globe. Additionally, you will have networking opportunities with your peers, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors.

Look forward to meet you in SQLServerGeeks Annual Summit 2015 !
