I keep getting syntax error for the following psconfig.exe. Any idea?

Start-Process "PSConfig.exe" ps-ArgumentList "-cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures" -wait

Error: Start-Process : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures'.

    Try this directly...PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures

From your command, looks like their is some error.You have to provide the complete path of PSConfig and also use -ArgumentList instead of ps-ArgumentList.

Start-Process "path of file\PSConfig.exe" -ArgumentList "-cmd upgrade -inplace v2v -passphrase FarmPassPhrase -force -wait" -Wait

If their is not such requirement then you can directly run the psconfig and see if that work.

  • The parameter name "-ArgumentList" is optional. You don't need it.

You could try wrapping PSConfig in the MS Crescendo Framework as in this module at PS Gallery.

PS Gallery - PSConfig.Crescendo

To patch a SharePoint server, then it would be a simple matter of

Install-Module -Name PSConfig.Crescendo

Invoke-PSConfigSafeProductUpgrade

The verbose output process of the MS Crescendo Framework is somewhat limited though in my opinion.
