Patch order in SharePoint 2013 while joining server into farm

Patch order in SharePoint 2013 while joining server into farm

This question arises many times in minds of SharePoint administrators when they scale out the farms. In which or what order they need to patch he new servers to join in the existing farm. In this article I am providing the patching order of SharePoint farm to scale out.

1.    Install the Pre-requisites of SharePoint

2.    Install the SharePoint binaries

3.    Install the SP1

4.    Install the Language packs

5.    Install the SP1 for language packs

6.    Install the Cumulative updates(DEC,FEB,APR,JUNE…)

7.    Finally Run the Products and configuration wizard to join the new server into the farm.
8.Patch APP fabric if required

Note: The LP,CU’s should follow according to your existing servers in farm only. The above is the Order that should follow.

How to display version info for installed SharePoint product and language packs

How to display version info for installed SharePoint product and language packs

Issue: some times when we are installing the CU’s in SharePoint farm, we may encounter the issue like below.

“The expected version of the product was not found on the system”

There are some work around for this to bypass\over come the issue. Please find the link below for workaround

Cause: the issue is because of some missing previous updates or patches in the server. To overcome the issue we need to find out the patches which are missed and need to install those on the server.

Solution: To figure out what the patches that missed in the server, I found a very good power shell script from Stephen. Thanks to Stephen
