To install the cumulative update for Lync Server 2013, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Cumulative Server Update Installer

The Cumulative Server Update Installer applies all updates for the appropriate server role in one operation. To use the Cumulative Server Update Installer, follow these steps:

1. Download the Cumulative Server Update Installer.
2. Run the Cumulative Server Update Installer by using the user interface (UI) or by using a command line.
   
   Note When you click Install Updates, the UI indicates which updates are installed.
   
   To run the Cumulative Server Update Installer, run the following command:

   LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe 

   Note The following text describes parameters that you can use together with the LyncServerUpdateInstaller.exe command:
    
   • The /silentmode switch applies all applicable updates in the background.
   • The /silentmode /forcereboot switches together apply all applicable updates in the background. Additionally, these switches automatically restart the server at the end of the installation process, if it's necessary.
   • The /extractall switch extracts the updates from the installer, and then it saves the updates in a subfolder that's named "Extracted" in the folder from which you ran the command.

After you run the Cumulative Server Update Installer, you must update all the applicable back-end servers. See how to update the back-end servers.
