Thanks Ach1lles - I am going to give you the points but want to keep this open until I have finalized the task on Tuesday if you don't mind.

Sharepoint design consists of one WFE/Application and one SQL 2008 R2 BE. In order to implement Sharepoint-integrated Reporting Services, had to install Sharepoint binaries on the SQL server.<br />
<br />
Sharepoint requires all installations to be at the same CU level so my question is, should I update the SQL server or the WFE/App server first, or does the order not matter. I have read Microsoft recommendations which only state to deploy Foundation update before Server update.<br />

Thanks
