Announcing: Availability of Infrastructure Updates

[IMPORTANT UPDATE 07/17: Please read the highlighted instructions below before starting your installation.]

This morning we released to web three new important updates that affect SharePoint Server 2007, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Project Server 2007, Search Server 2008, Search Server 2008 Express and Project Professional 2007.

  5. Install Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers (KB951297)
  6. Run the "SharePoint 3.0 Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard".

If you are running Project Server 2007 you should:

  1. Install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) if you haven’t already
  2. Install 2007 Microsoft Office Servers Service Pack 1 (SP1) if you haven’t already.
  3. Install the Infrastructure Update for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (KB951695).
  4. Cancel out of the "SharePoint 3.0 Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard". (You CAN run the wizard if you want. It will just save you time if you run it once at the end.)
  5. Install Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers (KB951297)
  6. Run the "SharePoint 3.0 Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard".
  7. You should also then install the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Project 2007 (KB951547) on all Project Professional 2007 client PC’s.

If you are running Search Server 2008 or Search Server 2008 Express you should:

  1. Install the Infrastructure Update for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (KB951695).
  2. Cancel out of the "SharePoint 3.0 Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard". (You CAN run the wizard if you want. It will just save you time if you run it once at the end.)
  3. Install Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers (KB951297)
  4. Run the "SharePoint 3.0 Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard".

If you are running Project Professional 2007 you should Install the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Project 2007 (KB951547).

The installation process will incur server and farm downtime that you will need to plan for – updates should be installed on all servers in a farm.

After applying the Infrastructure update on a MOSS 2007 Server with 'GroupBoard Workspace 2007' installed the 'SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard' would fail at step 2, with the following error messages logged in the Event Viewer:

The schema version (3.1.3.0) of the database v3_MOSS_SPSUPGRADE_PORTAL_80_CONTENT on VM-SQL\SQL2005 is not consistent with the expected database schema version (3.1.5.0) on SPSUPGRADE.  Connections to this database from this server have been blocked to avoid data loss.  Upgrade the web front end or the content database to ensure that these versions match.

Hi Yannis, this is a known existing issue between GroupBoard and PSConfig (not introduced by the Infrastructure Update) the fix details are below.

Thanks! Rich.

# re: Announcing: Availability of Infrastructure Updates

Hi guys,

do you recommend installing these updates right after the Service Pack 1 "battle" or is there a different update path that you would advocate? In that case, a list of hotfixes and updates in suggested order of execution would be very helpful. Does such a document exist somewhere?

# re: Announcing: Availability of Infrastructure Updates

I find the terminology here confusing. I'm used to Hotfixes and Service Packs now we have an "Infrastructure Update" - sounds trivial but it makes it harder to keep up-to-date when the terminology changes. I know what to expect from a Service Pack and the level of testing required - same with a hotfix. This "Infrastructure Update" sounds comprehensive enough to be a Service Pack, but suspect it isn't due to internal MS policies/procedures. It does make it confusing - please be consistant in the way that updates are released.

Also, who's bright idea was it to call your updates by the same name:

Install the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers (Office SharePoint Server 2007)

Install the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers (Search Server 2008)

Which one do I install and when?

# re: Announcing: Availability of Infrastructure Updates

I have tried to install the WSS 3.0 infrastructure updates to my Virtual PC 2007 SP1 virtual machine six times, each time I have tried various registry changes, some published by Micrsofot, some from various blog "folklore", but the bottom line is, when the Configuration Wizard runs, it *ALWAYS* dies with an error such as this:

[SPIisWebSiteWssSequence] [ERROR] [7/26/2008 7:16:09 PM]: Action 3.0.3.0 of Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPIisWebSiteWssSequence failed.

[SPIisWebSiteWssSequence] [ERROR] [7/26/2008 7:16:09 PM]: InstallAspNet 2002330348 failed.

[SPIisWebSiteWssSequence] [ERROR] [7/26/2008 7:16:09 PM]:    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.EnsureAspNetScriptMapInstalled.Upgrade()

My MOSS 2007 SP1 Enterprise Edition install was performed using the June 2008 MSDN DVD 2434.22, which contains MOSS 2007 with SP1 already applied.

I always make a copy of the original VPC image before trying this update, so I am willing to try just about anything at this point.

Should I do as the highlights says and skip the first Configuration Wizard after installing the WSS 3.0 updates and pray that running it after the MOSS 2007 updates won't die the same horrible death as I have witnessed six times already?

I'm at my wits end on this.  I've tried creating the following Registry entries, singly, paired and all three *BEFORE* running the WSS 3.0 updates, but the same error keeps happening.

1. Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\WSS\SPAdmin

DWORD value: SleepOnStart set to 20000 decimal

2.HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control     ->         add/modify DWORD value ServicesPipeTimeout to 60000 (60 seconds) [Make sure the base type is decimal]

3. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control     ->         add/modify STRING value WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 120000 (120 seconds) [Make sure the base type is decimal]

I can even upload any/all of the six failed images (14GB each) if anyone from Microsoft is interested.

# re: Announcing: Availability of Infrastructure Updates

I took some educated SWAG's and came up with this work-around, but it's probably something unique to my situation, so I highly doubt it will work for anyone else.  Keep in mind that I used the June 2008 MSDN DVD that has "SharePoint Server 2007 WITH SP1", so unlike all my real boxes, I didn't have to first install MOSS 2007 and then install MOSS 2007 SP1 since they are all nicely rolled into one on that particular MSDN DVD.

Here's what worked for me (step 6 is the crucial one that is NOT MENTIONED IN ANY MICROSOFT KB ARTICLE):

1.      Install the WSS 3.0 hotfix but cancel out of the SharePoint Configuration wizard.

2.      Install the MOSS 2007 hotfix.  It failed for me as it has six times previously.

3.      Open the upgrade.log file and find the number in the error message that includes InstallAspNet nnnnnn failed.  Make a note of the number.  For me the number was 2002330348.

4.      Open a CMD window.

5.      cd %windir%\Microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727

6.      aspnet_regiis.exe -ir

7.      aspnet_regiis.exe -s W3SVC/nnnnnnn/ROOT  (replace nnnnnnn with specific value from step #3)

8.      Open another CMD window

9.      cd %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN

10.   psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force

11.   When the above finishes (takes a bit of time), reboot your server.

May I recommend that in the future, that similar to how the SQL Server 2008 folks do it, please provide a "Prepare for the Upgrade" step that will verify that nothing is broken in ASP.Net and, if it is, offer to fix it, or stop the upgrade process so we can fix it ourselves.

Speaking of broken ASP.Net, how did it get that way in the first place?  And how did SharePoint continue to function seemingly normally if ASP.Net was so seriously "broken" that the WSS 3.0 hotfix refused to install?  Or, as I suspect, the act of installing the hotfix is what broke ASP.Net?

# re: Announcing: Availability of Infrastructure Updates

In the instructions, it says to cancel out of the Configuration Wizard and run it once at the end.  I haven't run SP1 or Post SP1 yet.  Can I do the same for those too?  It would save a lot of time.

Thanks!
