Slipstream installation - older CUs

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations/AX Technical Forum

Greetings,

I want to install new AX 2012 R3 with CU10.

  1. I downloaded DynamicsAX2012R3-KB3102920-SlipStreamOnly from Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services.

  2. Extracted this file - Copied the extracted files/folders into AX 2012 R3 source under “Update” folder as CU10

  3. Then I run the ax installer. and Installation was finsihed.

My question is :

Since I am doing fresh install with cu10. Do I need to download the slipstream for earlier CUs and copy under undate folder also like “CU7” “CU8” “CU9” along with “CU10”

Or

Just CU10 is enough.

After installation/Post installation…do I need to upgrade db or appln separately… again. ???

To my knowledge, during the installation it adds the update.

Please guide me!

No, you don’t have to download previous cumulative updates. They’re cumulative, therefore they contain all previous hotfixes.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

You said it’s a fresh installation, not an upgrade. It it’s correct, you don’t have anything to upgrade.

Great!

Thanks a Lot.

Thank you! I just think that the reply about closing the thread isn’t the answer to your question (about cumulative updates), therefore I’ve marked a more appropriate reply as the answer. Hopefully you agree.
