Difference between create a new farm and join an existing farm



Difference between create a new farm and join an existing farm

I am writing this topic because, many of the administrators who entered into the SharePoint recently will get this query, what makes difference between them? We see this option after the installation of SharePoint and while running the Products and Technologies wizard.

create a new farm: This option is used to create a new SharePoint installation .(This can be a standalone installation having all the roles (Web front end(WFE), Application server and database server on the same machine). This is where the new configuration DB will be created in SQL

join an existing farm: This option is used to add a new role to an existing SharePoint installation(In farm scenario, we can add an application server or WFE by joining the machine to an existing farm). This is where the server will be connected to already created configuration DB.

July 2015 CU for SharePoint 2013 is available

 July 2015 CU for SharePoint 2013 is available


The product group released the July 2015 Cumulative Update for the SharePoint 2013 product family.
For July 2015 CU we have full server packages (also known as Uber packages). No other CU is required to fully patch SharePoint.

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 Hot fix Download Available link in the KB article for the release.

This CU includes all SharePoint 2013 fixes (including all security fixes) released since SP1. The CU does not include SP1. You need to install SP1 before installing this CU.

The KB articles for July CU are available at the following locations:
  • KB 3054931 - SharePoint Foundation 2013 July 2015 CU
  • KB 3054937 - SharePoint Server 2013 July 2015 CU
  • KB 3054933 - SharePoint Server 2013 with Project Server July 2015 CU
  • KB 3054930 - Office Web Apps Server 2013 July 2015 CU
The Full Server Packages for July 2015 CU are available through the following links:
Note:

1.   After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.
2.   Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2013 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation CU. And the SharePoint Server 2013 with Project Server CU contains Project Server CU, SharePoint Server CU and SharePoint Foundation CU.
3.   Be aware that all Updates for SharePoint 2013 require SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 OR March 2013 PU for SharePoint 2013 to be installed first.
4.   This CU includes all SharePoint 2013 fixes released since RTM. The CU does not include SP1. You can install SP1 before or after installing this CU.
