Is there any problem in Installing Sharepoint foundation patches and CU inside sharepoint server 2013 professional
Question
I have live & staging SharePoint servers 2013. and i have installed the November 2014 CU on both of them, then i run the product configuration wizard. now when i run the following command on both servers
(get-spfarm).buildversion
on live i got:-
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
15 0 4641 1000
while on staging i got:-
PS C:\> (Get-SPFarm).BuildVersion
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
15 0 4667 1000
so why i have different build numbers (4641 & 4667). i have noted on my live server that windows update tool is showing the following update for SharePoint foundation server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2899508 (this update was installed by mistake inside my staging), so could this update cause the difference ?
second question. is there any problem of installing SharePoint foundation updates inside SharePoint server 2013 professional ?
EDIT
Solution
15.0.4641.1001
is for August 2014 CU while 15.0.4667.1000
is for November 2014 CU. Check from Here
So what i think, you installed the Aug 2014 CU on the Live servers while on staging Server You install the Correct the CU.
to fix this, simply download the Nov 2014 CU for SharePoint Server and Install on all servers in farm than Run the Config wizard. Keep in mind, This required an outage so plan accordingly.
Their is no problem if you install the SharePoint foundation, But if you have Server then Install the SharePoint Server Binaries as SharePoint Server CU include the SharePoint Foundation as well.
