   Hello, does this update fix the known issue from September CU on search index replication? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/description-of-the-security-update-for-sharepoint-server-subscription-edition-september-12-2023-kb5002474-c5869260-56d1-439b-a159-45fa38935276?

      Hi IKS,
      yes – it is documented in the KB article for December CU:

      “Fixes an issue in which search index replication doesn’t work. This causes the index replicas to no longer be synchronized with the primary index component.”

      Cheers,
      Stefan

      Hi Johnny,
      unfortunately not. The root cause for the issue is still being investigated.

      We just received the information that a fix for the indexing issue for classic Office documents is planned to be included in February 2024 CU.

   Was curious if anyone else is experiencing really long install times with the SE updates? We see this warning in the event logs continually before the patch finally completes but not sure if this is the cause or how to correct. 10010 Application ‘C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe’ (pid 18776) cannot be restarted – Application SID does not match Conductor SID..

            Hi Stefan, thank you for your reply. I have the Installation running (and stuck) at this very moment, do you suggest to Cancel the update or trying to stop the services right now?

               I stopped the services during the installation and it seems to be ok now. Thank you for the suggestion.

   Hi Stefan,

   After we installed December 2023 CU for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, and we run the SharePoint products config wizard without any error, by in CA->Upgrade and Migration->Review database status, the ProfileDatabase show “Database is too old and upgrade is required”, the UPS does not show any data.
   I’ve searched the Internet for a long time, many articles say to execute “PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures” or “Psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force”, but I’ve tried, in our environment this does not help..

   Do we have any solutions to this problem?
   Hope your reply,

   Thanks
