The December 2017 Cumulative Updates contain numerous hotfixes and improvements for SharePoint Foundation 2013, SharePoint Server 2013, Project Server 2013 and Office Web Apps Server 2013. The cumulative update package is multilingual and contains updates for all languages.

Before you start
Since June 2014 the Cumulative Updates for SharePoint products releases on a monthly basis.
Since May 2015 the server proofing tools are included in the cumulative updates.
This cumulative update includes all patches since the Service Pack 1 release, but not the Service Pack 1 itself. You must install the Service Pack 1 before installing this cumulative update. Read how-to install Service Pack 1.
Because of the file size the cumulative update package has been divided in three parts; ubersrv.exe, ubersrv_1.cab and ubersrv_2.cab. You have to put them all in the same folder.

Change the log file directories of all IIS sites via PowerShell

By default, all IIS logs are stored on the C: drive. This is not recommended, however, because on the one hand this causes performance loss (depending on the configuration) and on the other hand there is a risk that the system drive will run full and the OS will crash.

How to move the IIS logs for individual IIS sites is described here: Moving IIS Log Files (using PowerShell)

Moving IIS Logs
Copy the following code into a text file (e. g. Notepad) and change the path in the second line. Save the file as PS1 by changing the file extension from filename.txt to filename.ps1. Run the file filename.ps1 as administrator on the server where you want to move the log files of all IIS sites.
