Upgrade to SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 2
Service Pack 2 for SharePoint 2010
Time to do some testing on my development server prior to upgrading the production system. I will be doing the In Place upgrade with no rollback. This will require a server restart and interruption of services intermittently.
- First determine the version you need to install. Technet doesn't expose all of the installs on their page, thankfully Todd Klindt keeps his SharePoint version page up to date.
- Install the SharePoint Server with Project Server installer (KB2687452).
- In my case owstimer.exe threw lots of errors with the Visual Studio Just-In-Time debugger popup.
- I click cancel on debugging for each error.
- Reboot server after install complete.
- Install the Office Web Apps installer (KB2687470).
- Again more owstimer.exe issues that I cancel through.
- Open Powershell and run this command:
- psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b
- This fails the first time, I have read this is common, perhaps to do with Forefront Identity Service used with the User Profile Service.
- Run the command again and it works this time.
- Central admin website works and I verify that the SP2 version is shown in the upgrade section as well as in the database, Config DB, Versions table.
- Main web application hosting a site collection does not resolve.
- Run iisreset, now none of the web applications browse, they show HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
- Go to IIS Manager, browse the Application Pools.
- The Central Admin, Fast Search Admin, User Profile Service, and Security Token Service pools are stopped.
- Started the Security Token Service pool, success.
- Started the Central Admin pool, success.
- Started the User Profile Service pool, success.
- Started the Fast Search Admin pool, success.
- Query the status of Services on Server with this powershell command:
- The only Stopped services are:
- Application Registry Service
- Claims to Windows Token Service
- Document Conversions Launcher Service
- Document Conversions Load Balancer Service
- Lotus Notes Connector
- Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service
- Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service
- SharePoint Foundation Search
- None of these are necessary so I browse to Central Admin. Working fine.
- Browse to the web applications, they all work.
