Hi
I work at a GP surgery, and we use Sharepoint Foundation 2010 for our intranet. We've had various issues with Windows Update not connecting, but that was resolved recently and I starting applying updates. However, when I tried to do the manual upgrade, I got this error:
The farm is being upgraded in the timer service process. The task is 94.58% completed.urationTaskException was thrown. Additional exception information: The upgrade
command is invalid or a failure has been encountered.
Failed to upgrade SharePoint Products.
Total number of successful configuration settings: 4
Total number of unsuccessful configuration settings: 1
Successfully stopped the configuration of SharePoint Products.
Configuration of SharePoint Products failed. Configuration must be performed be
fore you use SharePoint Products. For further details, see the diagnostic log located
at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS\PSCDiagnostics_5_8_2013_16_9_32_946_455112990.log and the application event log.
The log showed this error:
An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException was thrown. Additional exception information: The upgrade command is invalid or a failure has been encountered.
Failed to upgrade SharePoint Products.
Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException' was thrown.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.UpgradeTask.Run()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.TaskThread.ExecuteTask()
The command I used was
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures, ran from the 14\BIN directory.
At which point Sharepoint got a fresh install. However, when trying to restore the backup from before the attempted upgrade, this occured:
Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.6120' or later.
I was informed that this build was the April 2012 CU, so there was another fresh install, updated up to the April 2012 CU, but the exact same message came up.
Is there any way that I can still restore this backup?
Thanks
