Public updates Vs CU Vs Server Packages (Uber).
I have the following:-

-        - SharePoint Server 2013, with SP1

-        - Sql server2008 R2.

 

In the past I thought that windows updates will list all the needed CUs  ,. But after reading this article I got confused http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2014/08/19/sharepoint-patching-demystified.aspx.

As I did not manually install any updates inside my SharePoint server, I always rely on windows update tool, I  have only installed the Service Pack 1 manually as it was not part of windows update.

So now I need to get all the latest CUs and install them inside my Dev environment to test them , and if they do not cause any problem to do this process inside my live server.

But I have the following questions:-

  1. As mentioned in the above link , starting from August 2014, there is not any uber packages with the CU. So starting from august 21014, some SharePoint components might not be updates if I only install the latest CU. So to make sure I have all the components up to date for  excel, search, wcm, etc , which package I need to install ?

Currently I have the following :-

  1. Sp1 installed .
  2. (get-spfarm).buildversion will give 4667.

So should I manually install all the CUs for august, September, October, November , December CUs to make sure I got all my SP components (search, excel, wcm, etc) up to date?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

The last update of SharePoint [December CU] includes each update published after the SP1 Update.

You download all 3 packages. Copy them to your SharePoint server and make sure all 3 are in the same folder, then just run the executable.

Look in your ULS logs for errors that appeared while running the PSCONFIG.  They are typically more descriptive and may give you an idea of the issue.  I've always found that log file to be fairly useless when troubleshooting PSCONFIG failures.

Those aren't errors per se, they're just health rules that are already registered, hence why I asked if we could get the log from that particular time, where the first occurrence of an error is that lead to the failure of your configuration.

If you've deleted the log, then re-run the Config Wizard to recreate the error.

Search the new PCSDiagnostic*.log for ERR, find the first instance. Go to the ULS log at the same time, and find the line right around that time which shows Unexpected. It may not be scoped to psconfigui.exe (e.g. it may be owstimer.exe).
