Difference between psconfig.exe
and products and technologies wizard running in GUI
Most of the administrators think that,
both running the GUI configuration Wizard and Running the Psconfig.exe-cmd
command will do the same after the install of CU or SP. But in reality, Both
are not same and there is a much difference in running those in GUI and
command.
In this article I am trying to
explain the things what made the difference between and which is recommended to
run after the install of CU or SP
products and
technologies wizard:
1.
PSCONFIGUI.EXE(
products and technologies configuration wizard) is the UI based configuration
wizard which performs several tasks one after the other after installing fixes.
2.
It will
perform all the operation including setup,
standalone config, config db, help collections, secure resources services,installfeatures,adminvs,upgrade,evalprovision,applicationcontent,quiet
1.
PSCONFIG.EXE
is the command line tool which gives users granular control over all tasks that
are executed and which is therefore quicker than PSCONFIGUI.EXE.
2.
Most
of us just ran the following command
PSCONFIG
-cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait
But
that command only performs a subset of operations performed by PSCONFIGUI.EXE.
E.g. it will not update the files in the _app_bin directory of the web
applications!
I would recommend to run the
Products and technologies configuration wizard to set everything is perfect
after the installation of CU or service pack. If you still need to include the
PSCONFIG.EXE in any of the script, you include the below
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade
-inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd
