   October update seems to have a problem upgrading Subscription Settings database.
   Looks like it goes ok in the psconfig upgrade log but Central Admin complains it needs upgrade.
   Issue noticed in both SP2013 and SP2016.
   Anyone else with the same issue?

      Hi Andreas. I can confirm the problem with SP2019 too.

         Hi,
         Make sure your farm account has db_owner on the database, then it should work.
         That was my issue anyways.

      The config wizard gui was failing for me with permission errors to the SubscriptionSettings database. Running the command line completed without error: PSCONFIG.EXE -cmd helpcollections -installall -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -wait

   May not be directly related to this patch, but we are having issues running “install-spapplicationcontent” now it fails with an exception of trying to access “c:\windows\system32\%systemdrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config” which (‘c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config’ doesn’t exist.

   It’s like it’s failing to resolve the environment variable or something?

      Hi Kevin,
      This looks weird as %systemdrive% should be “C:”. And this does not make any sense in the middle of a path.
      I would suggest to open a support case with Microsoft on this.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

         I found the issue. The previous admin extended the Default Web Site (iis default port 80 site) and this has systemdrive in its path to the wwwroot. The path in the web application iis settings was all wrong because it couldn’t parse the environment variable while creating its definition. Removing the sharepoint extension and deleting the web app definition without deleting the iis site (as iis site id 1 default web site is required to exist) resolved it.
