Issue :
I faced as mentioned after installing the SP2 patch and trying to run PSConfig command. I
have done a fair bit of patching but never encountered this issue. The PSConfig
failed and referred to the upgrade logs as usual to find the error. The upgrade
log error listed below was cryptic and did not provide any direct information
on what was causing it.
Resolution :
Error in
configuration wizard while trying to add new SharePoint Server to an existing
Farm [Scale out] after reset the Farm passphrase
Fixed with below refernce
2. Null exceptions
3 : Timer job filed
4. Decided to installation SP2 in all servers with sp2 language
packs
·
Installed SP2 Updates on WFE2 and APP Server
· Ran Product Configuration Wizard and it failed
·
Tried PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b
–wait - This too failed at the last step
·
Tried psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b –force
– this too failed at the last step
·
IISRESET to both SharePoint Servers
·
Restarted SharePoint Timer Service
·
Restarted SharePoint Search Service
·
Clear Config Cache on all the servers
set 1 as a cache
·
Ran PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b
-force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures – this one failed
at the last step
That issue was with respect to Web Application,
At the end we Deleted the Web App and Recreated it, Issue got resolved, and
then PSCONFIG Works like.
