I will try to be as thorough as possible with this explanation, please bear with me.

I recently upgraded my SP2010 farm from SP1 to SP2. Farm consists of 2 WFE , 1 Admin server, and 1 DBs. All 3 servers in the farm were given the SP2 installer and ran, then upgraded via PSConfig commands. Then our patching server sent out patches, CUs, etc. The 2 WFEs showed patch status up to date, but the Admin server showed missing components, some of which were part of SP1. I ran a script to show me what the patch and revision levels were between the 3 servers, obviously the 2 WFEs were the same, but the Admin was not, showing that it was missing the following...

I made an attempt to install these individually, but most prompted me with the message, could not install due to missing component or wrong version. I thought about running a "Repair" through Programs and Features in the hopes it would reinstall whatever it thinks it is missing, however I am not sure. All the sites are working, except Central Admin which is hosted on the server that is not showing present and proper patch levels. Running the wizard failes stating patch levels are not matching, nor does trying it via PowerShell forced or otherwise. Any help would be appreciated, thank you kindly.

Hi Dick,

This error might happen when SharePoint 2010 server pack 2 cannot be detected in the upgrade server. Would you please try to re-install SP2 in the admin server?
