   Hello,
   Our current farm has October 2022 CU and January 2022 Language pack and we want to install Dec 2022 Cu so can we install December 2022 Language independent & Nov 2022 Language dependent.

   We have tried to install Nov 2022 language pack and run the config wizard it gives this error:

   Failed to initialize the SharePoint Products configuration.

   An exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was thrown. Additional exception information: The INSERT permission was denied on the object ‘Locks’, database ‘Server_Config’, schema ‘dbo’.

   Please help on how to proceed?

   Thanks

      Hi Ryan,
      from the message it seems the account you are using to run PSConfig has insufficient rights on the configuration database.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

         Thanks for your response.
         What approach should be followed?

         Install Only Nov 2022 LangDep cu version
         Install Dec 2022 cu
         Run PSConfig.exe

         Or

         Install Only Nov 2022 LangDep cu version
         Run PSConfig.exe
         Install Dec 2022 cu
         Run PSConfig.exe

         Thanks

            PSConfig only has to be run once at the very end.

               Thanks. We have followed same but the config DB version shows this 16.0.5373.1000. Isn’t incorrect as per Dec 2022 Cu? If so, any thought?

      Hi Steve,
      see here for detail:
      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/SharePoint/install/single-server-with-a-built-in-database?redirectedfrom=MSDN#section4

      If Setup fails, check log files in the Temp folder of the user account that you used to run Setup. Ensure that you are logged in using the same user account, and then type %temp% in the location bar in Windows Explorer. If the path in Windows Explorer resolves to a location that ends in a “1” or “2”, you will have to navigate up one level to view the log files. The log file name is SharePoint Server Setup (< time stamp>).

      Additional info: for a fix the name of the log file is different:
      the log file for the language independent fix is named sts-x-none_MSPLOG.LOG
      the log file for the language dependent fix is named wssmui-XX-XX_MSPLOG.LOG
      (there might be multiple language dependent log files. XX-XX in the name identifies the language)

      Cheers,
      Stefan

   We upgraded our severs to Dec 2022 SharePoint Patch. Ninitex workflows failed to publish.

   To resolve it, we had to add below code in web.config (in all web and app servers)

   After modifying web.config, we were able to publish the workflows. Workflows are working fine and users are able to approve/reject items from tasks.

   however, Lazy approvals are not able to approve/reject the flexi task in NIntex workflow when replied from emails.

   We get below error

   Engine RunWorkflow: System.Workflow.Activities.EventDeliveryFailedException: Event “OnTaskChanged” on interface type “Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.ITaskService” for instance id “xxx” cannot be delivered

   Only lazy approval part is not working, rest all seems to be fine.
