Installation of the package failed while installing OCT 2013 CU on SharePoint server 2010                               

                                    

Issue: update of CU installation failed with error Installation of the package failed

Cause: Missing of CAB file while downloading

1.     while we download the CU from below MS site, Check the size of the ZIP file.It should be 1,232,518 KB

2.     The ZIP file must contains below two files and two files were in the same location

• ubersrv2010-kb2825786-fullfile-x64-glb
• ubersrv_1

3.     If the cab file missed or the size of Zip file is not correct,should download again and try to run after proper download.

Note: same applies to Other CU patches also.

December 2013 CU for SharePoint 2010

December 2013 CU for SharePoint 2010     
           

Be aware that the December Cumulative Update for SharePoint 2010 is a Post-SP2 hot fix. It is recommended to have SP2 installed before installing the December CU.

The KB articles for December CU are available at the following locations

• KB 2849990 - SharePoint Foundation 2010
• KB 2849971 - SharePoint Server 2010
• KB 2849972 - SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server

As you see there is a separate Full Server Package for SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server which simplifies patching of this common installation.

The Full Server Packages for December 2013 CU are available through the following links:

• Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 December 2013 CU
• Download SharePoint Server 2010 December 2013 CU
• Download SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server December 2013 CU

After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.

Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2010 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation CU. 

SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server CU contains Project Server CU, SharePoint Server CU and SharePoint Foundation CU.

That means only one package has to be installed for the SharePoint 2010 product family.

Content databases contain orphaned items

Content databases contain orphaned items

                            

The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected an error.Content databases contain orphaned items.

 Issue description: In some situations, a content database that is used by Microsoft SharePoint Foundation may become corrupted. The corrupted database may contain orphaned items. For example, a document may not have a parent document library or a list may not have a parent Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web site.  Consequently, you may be unable to create new items with the same URL as the orphaned items, and space in the content database will be consumed unnecessarily

Resolution: A specific article from MS on this which helps  to resolve this issue.
