Cumulative Update – 13 for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 Is Now Available !

The 13th cumulative update release for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 is now available for download at the Microsoft Support site. Cumulative Update 13 contains all the hotfixes released since the initial release of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2.

Those who are facing severe issues with their environment, they can plan to test CU13 in test environment & then move to Production after satisfactory results.

NOTE:
This is the final Cumulative Update for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 exits mainstream support on July 8, 2014.

I am Bit upset from Microsoft, they should release SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 instead of CU13. Now, No enchantment or no future release of SPs for SQL Server 2008 R2 (http://mssqlfun.com/2014/06/12/mainstream-support-ending-soon-sql-server-2008-and-sql-server-2008-r2/).
