I am facing some issues with one of the farms, in particular the sandbox which consists of 2 WFE, 1 App Server and 1 DB server. In the image below you can see the Health Analyzer complaints for missing updates as well as for PSCONFIG.

I have no prior experience with patching a farm and I would like to ask where should I begin?

Should I patch first using the CU of October and then run PSCONFIG OR run PSCONFIG first patch and re-run PSCONFIG? In addition, what about the Windows Updates, are they included in the CU?

The error in detailed view: enter image description here

  • Thanks for the reply! Based on your experience, should I backup the farm before running this command?

    For your own comfort it is always better to backup.

Run SharePoint 2013 products configuration wizard in all SharePoint servers.

Or you can run the following PowerShell on all SharePoint servers:

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources

You don't need to backup the farm before running this command.
