   Recently installed June 2020 CU without issues on the same environment. Single server SP2013 … Now with July 2020 CU config wizard fails. In the Application event log I can see this:

      Hi Michael,
      seems some views are missing in one of your content databases or the account used to upgrade the content DB does not have rights on them.
      I would recommend to open a ticket with Microsoft to analyze this in more details.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

         Thanks!

         I already did so (MS case) and meanwhile I could identify the faulty database. Seems I don’t need this one as this is just a db for testing and demo purpose. However, I’m curious how this could happen as I’m sure nobody touch the database directly via SSMS or something …

            Dismounted the “faulty” database, restarted machine etc. Now getting other error not indicating anothing about database issues …

            Still waiting for response on my case …

               Hi Michael,
               you should be able to get more details from the psconfig log file to see what went wrong.

               We had to delete some kind of stuck one-time timer jobs and restart the wizard. Now it completed successfully. Strange things happen 😉 Almost forget about that …

            Hi Neal,

            I’m not sure what exactly you are looking for: the CU includes all the previously released fixes since SP1. So that are several hundred fixes.
            About this specific one: if you open the CU kb you will see the KBs that are included from the same month.
            And here you can see that KB4484447 includes KB4484348.

            Cheers,
            Stefan

   Hi Stefan

   I have a problem on my application server with CA, I did install KB4484447 and only on this server I get the error “15.0.5259.1001 Missing/Required”.
   My farm consists of a frontend, a search server, an Office WebApp server and an application server with CA.

   Example:
   EU1-SPAPS-02 Microsoft Search Server 2013 German Language Pack 15.0.4569.1506 Installed
   EU1-SPAPS-02 Security Update for Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 (KB4484443) 64-bit Edition
   15.0.5259.1001 Missing/Required

   The wizard shows the same problem as the CA.

   Can you help me?

   Best
   Ronny

      Hi Ronny,
      I would suggest to run “get-product -local” on all servers in the farm to ensure that the info about the installed patches gets refreshed in the config database.

      If the issue persists:
      is it possible that you installed 4484443 on one of the servers – potentially before you installed 4484447 while on other servers only 4484447 was installed?
      I would suggest to double check in control panel in the installed updates.

      Cheers,
      Stefan

   Hi Stefan

   thanks for your answer.

   Yes after my installation i got the info that (KB448444444) is missing.
   I installed that too and then he still complained. Now there was nothing left for me but the CU (KB4484447) but also no improvement. After that I ran PSConfig twice, my Application- and Search Server are ok and the Databases also. But the Frontend Server can’t be fixed. Here the last two steps in PSConfig are missing.

   PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install

   I get a null Reference Exception at Frontend server:
   Install-SPApplicationContent

      My Exception message at Frontend server:

      Failed to install the application content files.

      This is a critical task. You have to fix the failures before you can continue.

      An exception of type System.NullReferenceException was thrown. Additional exception information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

         Hi Ronny,

         I haven’t seen this and would recommend to open a ticket with Microsoft Support to get this analyzed in more detail.

      Hi Shay,
      I would suggest to check the ULS log for a problem when loading the page.
      If you need assistance I would recommend to open a support ticket with Microsoft.

   Hello Stefan,

   Hope you are doing well.

   I would like to know if CVE-2020-1447 is included in JULY CU for SharePoint 2013 ?
   And if it’s stable version ? We are in 15.0.4569

   Many thanks in advance.

   Best,

      Yes, it is included.
      As always test the fix in a test environment against your business critical features to ensure that it does not cause negative side effects before installing on production as it is not possible to uninstall SharePoint fixes.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

         I will deploy it on our test environment before planning the production.
