Late last week, Microsoft suggested that Update Rollups for Service Manager 2012 would release on Tuesday. The surprising part here is that Microsoft rarely puts a hard date on anything, because things tend to change at the last minute or last second. But, late Tuesday night, the Rollups rolled out and are now available for download.

If you're running Service Manager 2012 R2, you'll want this one…
