The product group released the May 2017 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Server 2016 product family.
This CU also includes Feature Pack 1 which was released with November 2016 CU.
The KB articles for May 2017 CU are available at the following location:
- KB 3191880 – May 2017 Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (language independent) – this is also a security update!
- KB 3191884 – May 2017 Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (language dependent fixes)
- KB 3191915 – May 2017 Update for Office Online Server 2016 – this is also a security update!
The download for May 2017 CU is available through the following link:
- Download May 2017 Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (language independent) – this is also a security update!
- Download May 2017 SharePoint Server 2016 (language dependent fixes)
- Download May 2017 Office Online Server 2016 – this is also a security update!
Be aware that as well the language independent and the language dependent fix is required to fully patch a SharePoint server as each SharePoint installation comes with a language independent component and a language dependent component. If additional language pack are added later (only) the language dependent fix has to be applied again.
It is irrelevant which language you pick on the drop down in download center. Even the language dependent fixes are all in the same package for all languages.
After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm. If you prefer to run the command line version psconfig.exe ensure to have a look here for the correct options.
